My Hawk has always had a bit of a stutter occasionally. It's kind of unpredictable. Today I decided to pull the tank and explore a little. While I was in there, I pulled the sensors from the throttle body, cleaned them and dielectric greased the connectors. I also found a vacuum line from the Evap canister to the throttle body that was kinked against the frame due to the angle of the throttle body. It wasn't long enough to route a different way so I reversed the hose ends so the kink crease was in a less kinky spot. At this moment I realized I had 2 hoses for the Evap canister, 1 from the tank and 1 from the throttle body and I didn't take note of which hose went to which nipple. I took my best guess and put it back together.
The Hawk took a little bit of turning before coming back to life and stalled once, but then ran ok. I took it for a ride and it seems to be no worse than before I started. Would the engine run poorly or throw codes if I reversed the hoses on the Evap system? Would it be immediately noticeable or a slowly developing problem if it is a problem? It's running seemingly normal. Should I just not worry about it?
