1. A method for an engine comprising: during warm-up, serially routing exhaust through two bricks arranged within a hydrocarbon trap to store exhaust hydrocarbons;after warm-up, drawing air through a vent upstream of both bricks and purging the stored hydrocarbons in parallel, with the air, into a conduit coupled with the trap between the bricks;after purging, and during select operating conditions when the engine continues to spin, again serially routing exhaust through the two bricks. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the engine carries out combustion while it continues to spin. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the select operating conditions include during rich exhaust air-fuel operation. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the select operating conditions include catalyst over-temperature conditions. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the select operating conditions include when temperature of a catalytic emission control device falls below a threshold value. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein during warm-up, the engine carries out combustion with MBT ignition timing, even when temperature of an emission control device is less than a light-off temperature. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the hydrocarbons are purged into an intake of the engine. 8. The method of claim 1 further comprising, during select operating conditions: routing fuel tank generated vapors to the hydrocarbon trap via the conduit;depending on an opening state of a valve arranged between the bricks and the vent, storing the vapors in parallel in the bricks or purging the vapors in parallel through the bricks and then directing the vapors through the vent to atmosphere. 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the select operating conditions include cylinder deactivation conditions. 10. The method of claim 9 wherein the cylinder deactivation conditions include fuel deactivation conditions. 11. The method of claim 9 wherein the cylinder deactivation conditions include cylinder valve deactivation conditions. 12. A method for an engine comprising: during warm-up, serially routing exhaust through two bricks arranged within a hydrocarbon trap to store exhaust hydrocarbons;after warm-up, drawing air through a vent upstream of both bricks and purging the stored hydrocarbons in parallel, with the air, to an engine intake via a conduit coupled with the trap between the bricks, while routing exhaust to bypass the hydrocarbon trap;after purging, and during select operating conditions when the engine continues to spin, again serially routing exhaust through the two bricks; andafter again serially routing exhaust through the two bricks, again drawing air through the vent and purging the stored hydrocarbons in parallel, with the air, to the engine intake via the conduit while routing exhaust to bypass the hydrocarbon trap. 13. The method of claim 12 wherein the engine carries out combustion while it continues to spin. 14. The method of claim 12 wherein the select operating conditions include during rich exhaust air-fuel operation. 15. The method of claim 12 wherein the select operating conditions include catalyst over-temperature conditions. 16. The method of claim 12 wherein the select operating conditions include when temperature of a catalytic emission control device falls below a threshold value. 17. The method of claim 12 wherein the select operating conditions include cylinder deactivation conditions. 18. The method of claim 17 wherein the cylinder deactivation conditions include fuel deactivation conditions. 19. The method of claim 17 wherein the cylinder deactivation conditions include cylinder valve deactivation conditions. 20. A method of operating an engine having a hydrocarbon-retaining system, comprising: during warm-up, serially routing exhaust through two bricks arranged within a hydrocarbon trap of the hydrocarbon-retaining system to store exhaust hydrocarbons;after warm-up, drawing air through a vent upstream of both bricks and purging the stored hydrocarbons, in parallel, with the air, to an engine intake via a conduit coupled with the trap between the bricks, while routing exhaust to bypass the hydrocarbon-retaining system;after purging, and during selected conditions when the engine continues to spin, again serially routing exhaust through the two bricks;after again serially routing exhaust through the two bricks, again drawing air through the vent and purging the stored hydrocarbons in parallel, with the air, to the engine intake via the conduit while routing exhaust to bypass the hydrocarbon-retaining system; andidentifying degradation of the hydrocarbon-retaining system based on an exhaust air-fuel ratio during purging operation.
