Hello:

Five weeks ago my 1993 244 stalled out while driving in the middle of traffic. I was pushed out of traffic. I lifted the hood and saw that the AC compressor had cut a hole through the hose that leads from the top of engine to what I've learned now is the evap canister. Both hoses were cut the hard plastic one and the rubber one. I was able to replace the bigger one with the proper three feet of cable. I actually had driven the car for some time apparently with this cable not even attached. I connected it and then it was cut and the car stalled. The little hard plastic cable broke in two. So I joined it together with a smaller piece of hose for fuel line. I'm not sure what this hose does. The car ran fine then three weeks ago, while driving home the car stalled and cut on and stalled etc six times. I limped home. The car would cut on but I didn't drive. Today I went through a check list and noticed I didn't tighten the battery, cable from when I was trying to fix it after the first stall, but I it was tight when the first stall happend. There are no error codes on #2 or #6. Is fixing those hoses what fixed it ( I don't know what and evap system does and the videos on you tube talk about more modern cars the Bentley book doesn't go into detail either. I didn't even know this canister existed.

Any help would be appreciated.
