2.3L ('83-'97) Coolant out of charcoal canister

[gbcooper]

I just finished changing the front main and the head gasket on a 4 plug efi 2.3 and while I was running vaccum lines and checking off the last things like the coolant - I had coolant pushing out of my charcoal canister by the drivers headlight. The radiator wouldn’t take and pressure and would just spit out hede. The larger line on the canister is ran to the back of the lower intake manifold. I guess I ran it to the coolant spot back there between the 2nd and 3rd runner. But I’m very confused as to how it’s routed wrong and where everything should be. I’ve glanced at every picture of similar engine bays and it looks routed correct. Could someone tell me where this coolant passage should go and what port I should put the charcoal canister to?

The line is question is the long straight one on the right of the engine. Not my picture but the same engine bay. I can take photos of my particular truck tomorrow morning

Oh and when I run the truck - it doesn’t push the coolant. Just when I’m filling it or when I shut the truck off. I haven’t let it run more than 5 minutes since the rebuild since I can’t get coolant in the radiator because of this

I'm confused. There shouldn't be coolant anywhere near the charcoal canister.

Yeah me too man. I ran the port from the back of the lower intake manifold to the canister. I guess it’s the wrong port. But I don’t know where a) the charcoal canister line should run to and b) what coolant line runs to the back of the intake. I was hoping someone either had a photo of their engine bay or a diagram

Charcoal canister should have one line going to fuel tank and another to the vacuum port before the throttle body.
