I recently had the check engine light come on, I replaced the cap and reset the code. a couple days later it came back on. When I went to get the truck inspected they said the Purge valve was bad and needed to be replaced. So I did it. Check engine light is still on and the gas cap light is on as well.
When I cut it off to get gas the truck takes 4-5 times to get it to start, its like its out of gas.
When filling it up as it runs the tank has a LOT of pressure when the cap comes off, The engine surges between 500 & 1500 RPM and it fills very slowly.
I'm sure this is a common issue, I just don't have the tools to diagnose it,and being out of work right now I cant afford a big mechanic bill
