The Black Knight

I wrote in before about this issue, but it's gotten much worse and I couldn’t find my previous post. Every time I pump gas, I can't start my car, unless I give it some gas when I'm starting it. This past time it almost didn't start. Has anyone had this issue?

Car also seems to be idling low, had dealer adjust the throttle body but its still doing it.

Let me know.

Thanks

Any codes?
I'd check to make sure your EVAP system is functioning properly.
Evap purge valve, and charcoal canister.

Do you top the tank off? The carbon canister is probably clogged.

I don't top off but the old owner may have, how do I fix this?

You start be switching to thread view on the forum.

Then you buy a carbon canister from the dealer, get under the spare tire well, remove the cover, and replace it.

The Black Knight

Any way I can narrow it down to make sure that's what it is? What do they usually cost? Is there a difference between the carbon canister and the charchol canister?

Know of a writeup on how to do this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

It's the same part. I'm not sure how to diagnose the system, but that is what vents to the atmosphere, and allows the gas vapors to move out fast enough to fuel.

Might look and see if there are any fault codes.

It is the evap purge valve or one of the check valves. look around over your air filter box. make sure the valves/hoses are not melted or destroyed.
