a smoke test will determine and pin point any evap sustem leaks, what you do is pinch off your rear vent by the gas tank and put the smoke tester straight into the evap system and you will see if theres smoke coming somewhere, is your car rusty? sounds like you have a lot of rust with all the bolts that are breaking. i would give your car a wd 40 bath before touching another fastener on that thing

The undercarriage is surprisingly not that rusty, but yes there are components that are, like the bolts that connected the midpipe to the header and axleback, and the bolts that held the evap canister.

I'll test my alternator first, like Adam said, if that's fine then I think I'm done messing with her and just head to the shop. Could it still be possible that my evap is fine and it's just faulting out because of electrical issues?
