I don't know if there is a vacuum pump on yours or if it is in a different location. That pumps air to pressurize the fuel system (not fuel but vapors). It probably will make noise in that case. If it is spewing vapors, you probably have a hole or a cracked hose or something. It should be completely sealed. Hopefully it is just a hose that is leaking. If it is the canister, they are like $400. It is pretty easy to replace but impossible to fix if there is a hole. Just make sure you put the hoses OVER THE EXACT SAME PORT WHERE THEY WERE BEFORE!
I have taken mine out of my 02' a few times. Mine is a completely different part though....

Just a follow up. Weird the check engine light turned off!? Also no smoking and the thing ran great through some pretty rough roads.
