gonna have to ask you coz its seriously doing my head in now, but ive repeatidly heard a sizzling hissing sound coming from what appears to be the round canister behind/next to the fuse box located in the rear left of the engine bay, on minute i just have the lid open on the bay and im just there and all of a sudden it'll start hissing sizzling for just short of a minute and just stop and it does it every now and then

for example i fitted a k&n and during fitting it it must have made the noise about 3 times, first i thougt it was the fuse box but appears to be the black plastic caniters located just behind it. on a 3sge engine, from what i can make out its something to do with either the fuel or the brakes i think

I was always told when you get a noise you dont recognise, thats been there for a while.

Start worrying when it stops :lol::lol:

Its the charcoal canister, dont worry about it. The other noise that you might hear is bubbling water flowing back to the resevoir after a hard run, thats normal too.

Tiss true, I thought I had an electrical problem when I first heard it... its just the MR2's personality shining thru once again!
