Can the evap can cause the engine to stall while driving
*才；
If you have a habit of fueling your car or truck and when the gas nozzle clicks but you keep pumping because your trying to round up that next whole dollar...STOP DOING THAT. Your overfilling your tank which causes fuel to enter your vapor canister. Once raw fuel is in the canister, the canister is now destroyed. You might not get a check engine light but you will noticd your fuel economy is now slowly dropping and the engine starts having a little shake to her at idle. Change the vapor canister and vapor control solenoid. Hope this helps.
Hey just came across your comment i did over fill twice and one day turned my car on normally gt to work then was going to move to a different location and my car started after awhile on idle turned off and when i turned key to give it gas it just spit fuel on floor.
@julioocampo9755 yeah when you overfill your tank, the fuel vapors will create pressure. If there is too much pressure then gas will escape with the vapors out of the filler neck and spill onto the ground.
Thank you for the advice man, usually here in lebanon, almost every single gas station worker does this. Next time I fill up my car im going to make sure the person thats filling it doesnt do this. One time, they kept on filling it to the point where the gas started to overflow from the car
@@brandonjohnson3566 thanks as well I got under my car and the connecter that goes to the fuel tank popped off just had to recomnect it
The system diagram helped thx. Seems there's much plumbing with wire, hose, & pipe with this system so helps with checks on those components.
This guy is awesome better than my mechanic 👍thank u
Very nice, thank you!
thanks. this explains the gas pump shutting off & the smell of gas. 👍🏼
Great work!
Symptom 1: it's still attached to your vehicle.
🤣🤣🤣 No shit!
Wow,you are a genious
But how do you remove the components without damaging your car? Will it still run? I’ve been dealing with evap issues for over 4 months 😭 any reliable recommendations are welcome
Hey A 🕳 can you answer his question
@@elenamauck1112 You can drill a small hole in your fuel cap if you remove your canister.Once you have a proper fuel filter
Ah very good information..thanks....I'll look deeper into that..😊
Very informative and helpful ... thank you
Great tips. I have an old car. Always helpful to learn from you. Thanks !!
This is what I needed a video to 👏🏾👍🏾💯
Thanks , gave me peace of mind 🍻
Thank you!
Simple straight to the point short vid is all u need and thanks for that I subscribed keep posting man
Hi very informative video. I have a 2016 Corolla with strong fuel smell coming from AC vents first 1-2 min after being started in morning, then clear normal air and no engine codes. Any idea of what could be my issue?
I was hoping your channel would be the first to come up! 😂 thanks for the info! 🙌🏼
Good info
P06B8 code on my 2010 Mercury Milan, my mechanic mentioned EVAP over 1 year ago. Engine light came on 4 months ago, have noticed loss of pressure, power and acceleration last 6-9 months, no necessarily loss of MPG. Oh and since last 4+ months doesn't start right away, like maybe 10+ times. Completely dead then starts after multiple tries. Also traction control, both emergency and ABS lights as well, constantly on. There's been issues with instrumentation panel since purchase 2 yrs ago
Good job
This helped a lot thanks!!!
I have a 2006 Subaru Outback 2.5I. Would this cause a smell when you turn on the heater?
Own a 2006 Scion xB and I always smell intense gas fumes during cold starts especially on cold days. I know some fumes are normal for a car but for this car its far worse. This has been happening for years and I always thought its normal for this car. No check engine light and no drivability issues. Will check the canister to see if there is anything unusual. Thanks.
I have the second generation XB , same situation, suspiciously, strong gas smell from the exhaust, no check engine light, no drivability issue, possibly more noticeable during cold weather.
Did you discover any problem with yours?
I have 2003 crown Vic and my Evap core is in a box on the passenger side of vehicle. I’ve noticed that it continually throws hot air out of this box is this normal? Just had a mechanic change it last week! Hope it didn’t go bad again
Thanks for your video, will this cause fuel to leak out of the vanister also, i have that on my 2002 Audi tt?

How about ever hearing of all the charcoal being sucked into the intake manifold and clogging your oil pump pickup screen and oil filter? just asking
Doubt it, at most those little pellets/charcoal would go threw your fuel line, it'll possibly get clogged somewhere in the fuel line, like your fuel filter or stop at your fuel injectors.
Doubt it'll go anywhere in the oil considering you just have a entry and exit of the engine oil
Could this cause trouble starting after fueling on a 2014 impala limited LT? I have replaced the gas cap, Canister Purge Valve and Vapor Canister Vent Solenoid. Check engine light is no longer on, but difficulty starting after every refuel. No problems between fill ups.
My 2011 Crown Vic clicks off a lot when fueling up. Having to basically baby it when it’s time to fuel up. But none of these other symptoms yet. It has 64k miles on it, but is getting older. Probably replace it as the other symptoms may pop up with the summer coming.
The gas pump shutting off isn't always a sign of a bad EVAP canister, especially in CA. There's many shifty old pumps with bad pressure sensors and others that work flawlessly.
Thanks for sharing!
finally a helpful video thx
and thank you!
question. I think my evap is done. I have a 1993 f150 5.0. I can't pump fuel in my truck at all. I have a check engine light and didn't pass smoke. I think that's the problem
I have had code P0456 & P0442. I have replaced the gas cap(OEM), purge valve (under the hood) & EGR valve. Still getting the same codes and car feel like it is rough idling about to stall at a dead stop. I have located the charcoal canister. Do you think that may be the problem? I do notice a gas smell.
Have a 06 Sentra and been trying to fix code p0448 took it too few mechanics change parts code still shows
So, if my canister purge vent is blocked, what exactly do I do to fix it? I keep seeing different things, and I'm not 100% sure exactly what's accurate, and what's not.
You've gotta check the whole system for where the blockage is. Mine is blocked before the charcoal canister at the gas tank. Still trying to figure out how to unclog it.
Just buy new lines
My 2002 won’t let me fill gas tank all the way. No diagnostic code. No problem starting,running, or idling. Only issue is won’t let me fill tank more than a couple of gallons. What could be wrong? With no diagnostic codes showing up and running fine, I am baffled. Any ideas?
I had one replaced due to a fuel leak, which happens when the car does not run. Since the "repair" the leak has happened again.
Any chance they can leak fuel? Or do I likely have another issue?
I got a oxygen Sensor Circuit Low voltage took it to vw workshop and couldn't find any problem only with the evap canister
What about a fuel smell reminiscent of bad ethanol gas?
Can the vapor canister cause a vacuum leak? My car rpm idling a bit higher then normal when setting on park ! I have 2011 ford fusion 2.5 l
Good video
Thank you!
I could have this problem aswell, I smell gas smell pump turns off on me but no engine light my suv never gives me any kinda light so between this and a fuel pump.
I had a code and was able to clear it was just changing my vent solenoid and not having to do the charcoal filter. the code been gone for 5 days but came back on today. but I overfilled the truck yesterday so I'm guessing since my charcoal filter has already been bad that overfilling it caused the new solenoid to go bad quick so now I'm changing the solenoid and canister this time
But what about engine knock/ping? That’s a pretty big symptom to leave out…..
So mine is a 2007 Civic, it's completely covered in gas and it now won't start my car, makes me wonder if there's a fuel leak, or if this thing is the object leaking fuel. Could it stop the car from starting since the gas isn't getting to the engine due to this being broken?
Hello Auto repairs, i am using the same Lexus RX300, 1999 model engine 1MZFE. the accident was made by swap/connecting the Vacuum Surge Tank pipe to the water outlet there just below it. The system was filled with water until the water comes out at The Charcoal Canister through the Air Drain Horse. We have tried to remove the water by sucking and blowing through the pipes and even put the new service kit since we found some plugs socked in water. but still the car wont start but cranks. what advice can you give sir
That's a horrible mistake. Your engine probably got hydro locked and spun a bearing.
I did the scotty kilmer cigar and the hose in regards to finding a vacuum leak. Car is a 2017 nissan sentra , it has been running w weak acceleration esp up hill. Back to the possible vacuum leak , the smoke was coming out from behind headlight but straight down on the driver side , if Anybody can tell me what it is I would be very happy!!
Thx in advance
Should I just replace both the solenoid and canister at the same time?
My sentra 2006 is doing just that , gas vapor inside the cab,poor milage and the check engine just came on,also, an uneven,rough idle. Could it be the valve alone or the whole canister??

is its possible first crank is long ?
I cleaned a bunch of sensors and tested sensors to be sure they were working. Finally got the computer to give a code and it turned out to be a problem with the Gas pedal putting it in limp mode. The dealer couldn’t find anything wrong when I was able to provide them with the code they found that there was a loose plug that connects to the panel. I don’t know if it was the plug going to the harness or the plug going to the pedal, but the wiring harness had recently been replaced, and there must’ve been a loose plug probably at the harness. Problem is fixed.
You always help me but you gotta stop putting “failed emissions test” as a symptom for everything from 02 sensors to bad batteries it’s very confusing
Hi I tested the sensor, it works very well but does not work on the car, I tested the wires the first has 12 volts and the second o volt, how do I know where the wire is cut
What if i fill up my tank and the car wont turn over when i try to start. Then it does, p0441. Running lean.
i allready change solenoid under hood , solenoid on tank , and still have check engine with p0442 , but i dont have any simptoms like in this video...should i replace canister ?
Try replacing the gas cap.
My 2006 acura tsx smell like gas by the fuel pumps and the gas fills up at about 7 gallons and stops, I'll see if it's a bad or clogged up Evap Can.
I got an '02 Mazda hatch and I drove over a large, deep puddle recently, about 5 minutes of driving later my engine turned off by itself while driving. Luckily, I turned it back on and I drove to the gas station to fill up nearing empty, and now have the issue where it shuts off the pump after filling 0.160 Gal. I decided 2 order a new charcoal canister/filter to replace the old one in case the filter inside somehow got soaked, since its located @ rear driver side wheel near the floor. Will update once I get it replaced -if that fixes it.
This just means you got water in your engine.
I fixed the issue it was the gas evap filter 'charcoal filter' ran just fine after and changed the oil didn't see any water innit
Thank you Sir for your informative video. My Toyota was showing an engine light on and the Toyota service mechanic asked me to replace the Charcoal Canister. I Google search the reason and it says Canister normally doesn't need to be replaced but there may be reasons associated with your exhaust system.
It cost me 1200 dollars cnd and I am still in doubt
For peace of mind with high-cost repairs, a second opinion from a different mechanic is recommended.
@@easyautofix thanks for your reply 🙏
That's too much. The canister is less than $100 and takes 5 minutes to replace. That means they charged you $200 a minute.
@nevinkuser9892 I checked with Toyota's original parts and they said $588 Canadian.
Yea you have no clue what you're talking about@@nevinkuser9892
I have a 2019 Titan with these symptoms and an engine light but no codes, heading out to my shop now to check canister and purge valve . I'll report back with what I figure out.
How did it go?
I just changed out that evap solenoid a month ago. Now the light's on again with the same code. Ideas?
Did you figure it out?
I changed the solenoid too. It's not the solenoid, it's the charcoal canister.
The evap solenoid is also called the PURGE solenoid. The charcoal canister is also called the EVAP or VAPOR canister.
It's confusing, but they are different parts. Solenoid under hood and easy. Canister under car and a bit more involved.
@@esyndicate i changed solenoid under hood and solenoid on tank but still have check engine with p0442 , but i dont have any simptoms like in this video...should i changed the canister ? it is help ? chevy venture with orig 220k km odo
@@lextmbP0442 is a small evap leak. I traced mine to a rusted out fuel pump that had a slight crack. Was leaking gas out ever so slightly. P0455 is a large evap leak. I had that as well and traced it to a faulty vent valve solenoid. But with your P0442, best course of action would be a smoke test. Pressurize system with smoke and look for where it’s coming out. Could be gas cap, filler neck rusted, etc. Good luck.
Could a gas cap cause this ?
will it cause a car to also shut off on its own?
No
Hello. I replace my charcoal canister but when I gas, it's still clicking. My engine light is not on. What could it be?
change the canister 'purge valve as well'..!
Will this part cause my car to not start after putting gas in it?
Can this cause white smoke ?
No, white smoke is usually oil/coolant burning. You most likely have a blown head gasket.
Great video! Just don't know why there's a funny emphasis in your voice.!
Wouldn't this cause fuel trim issues as well. P0175 and what not
Possibly but my Toyota is not throwing any check engine light codes and the line is totally blocked.
I'm asking for my own benefit. I have actually bank 2 rich fuel trim. Replaced all kinds of shit. My tank doesn't take the gas pump well. So. I'm thinking canister might be a problem
I have a P0440 code, no gas smells, no problems filling up... should i just replace gas cap ? 1st thing is simple fix...
It’s the purge valve
Would this cause an engine to stall?
Yep . As I’m stopping at a red light the rpm goes up and down & starts to shake . pinging noises start to hear in the back of the car & it shuts off
Can this just be bypassed? They never used this in the past.
my 99 s10 center hose from the tank is putting gas into the charcoal filter and dumping out in the street through the foam filter. Can anybody help?
Did you figure out this problem? Please let me know. I changed out my leaking gas lines on a 2004 Grand Am, and now there's a small liquid gas leak in a big hose that connects the Charcoal Canister to the Canister VENT Valve Solenoid. This seems to be kind of like your problem. Thanks!
On top of the gas tank is a cap. On the cap you'll see a 1- 2 inch round rubber hose, the hose is attached to the gas tank cap on the left side of cap, on the cap is a connector the hose is attached to; that connector cracks and causes fuel to leak into the hose, that contaminates inside of the evap canister
Contact mechanic and have mechanic inspect the connector
***New battery ***
So here’s an update I had check engine light with limp mode. The dealership couldn’t find any codes. I have trouble often on putting fuel in the tank. So I took the canister out check the purge valve with 12 V to be sure it was actuating blew out the canister with air, open the purge valve and blew it out and got some dust out of it, clean the gas tank, pressure sensor with sensor cleaner. Sprayed the purge valve with some WD-40 blew out all the hoses that I could find a blowout put it all back together and we’re still getting an engine light. I remember someone online mentioning low voltage could cause sensor problems. I checked my battery after it sat all night and it had 12.2 V which I thought was a little on the low side so I got a new battery. I discharged power from all the computer boards by touching both battery terminals together after disconnecting them and I drove about 15 miles today with no light. We’ll see what happens. Thanks for the info.
Maybe buy a trickle charger to keep your battery charged.
My truck has a parasitic draw that I cannot find so I used one (trickle charger) for a long time. Recently I added a disconnect switch which keeps the battery from discharging.
I notice when i let my car get down to E when i fuel up and try to turn the car on it wont start. I have to hit the gas to get it to turn over. It turns just fine when my car has gas
Change the purge valve
Ok so for any of these symptoms, does that mean you need a new canister? How long do these canisters usually last?
Mine went out at 175000 miles. It will cost me around $900 to replace.
@@The_intrepidmale hi, so it turns out mine just needed a new sensor. I found a good mechanic who performed what’s called a “smoke test” & it turns out it was just the sensor. My cars got 150,000 miles by the way..
@ro-landocalrissian4633 what kind of sensor did you need?
@@punkguy350 damn I can’t remember. I’ll let you know if I find out which one..
Did you get figure out which sensor?
My system is when i fill the gas, and it keep shutting off, my charcoal canister is probably clogged..
No CEL on my car yet...but the gas pump keeps shutting off.
I put 20 dollars in & it kept stopping I thought I had a full tank I was happy only to notice I was only on a half of tank🙄 now I see why
I have no check engine light on
Forgot to say it is a 2002 Toyota sienna. Hope someone has an idea how to diagnose this problem! Thanks!
I put my nose in a granny and now I have a check engine light,should I see a doc?
What if I put a gas pump in my gas tank and I hear air escaping?
TRAP GAS
I always smell a gas smell.
Same occasionally a fuel smell
@@Clean-N-ShineInDfw My vapor canister purge valve is bad. It took me 6 years to figure it out. PO456 on a Corolla is gone now
For just a little 4 cyl. Daily driver car, shits over 100$ just for the canister.
Screw that.
I've seen a video where the guy used a air compressor in the vent line that leads to the canister, popped the hose in between the canister and the vent line that leads up to where you put your gas cap on, blew out both ends and he could refill again without replacing the whole unit
I get a fuel smell, but no codes, or check engine lights.
me too and rarely a little rough idle. 2022 crostrek 2.0l na only 17,755 miles. does alot of idling though
.... thanks for video. So apparently there's no way to fix the canister, other than to replace it 🤔
From my experience, it needs to be replaced.
Have you tried warming the canister a bit, (100 to 115 F) and pulling several inches of vacuum for a couple of hours? If the vehicle set unused for months, the charcoal may have become saturated with heavier than normal vapor that is not quickly released by the charcoal.
I have the issue with the gas pump... super annoying
Yeah, 130$ to fill my truck with Regular gas. FJB.
2nd that!
My 14 Ford fusion starts farting and it stinks.
Couldnt you just remove this and get better performance
I call it a fart box..
The gas filling symptom is bs.
That was somewhat less than helpful
