Eric, I just went through something similar to what you're experiencing, I
replaced my Grose Jet with the standard jets and the car has been running fine,
I don't have the charcoal canister, but I've heard tell that sometimes the line
gets plugged and that can have an adverse effect, I would check that for
obstruction, just my two cents worth.
