-Check Engine light came on and also i was having trouble filling gas in the tank.
-the code was for the evaporative emmisions
-I installed the evaporative canister and the canister close valve.

The car seems to be running better so far - but I still
- can't fill gas up? It takes for ever - seems like air is in the tank. When I installed the new canister was I supposed drain the tank for air.

What do you think the reasons are for the gas not going? Maybe the vent line is clogged - how do you unclog? Thanks,

Hi there,

You still have a problem with the tank venting system, may be a damaged hose or a faulty valve in the tank. You will have to start inspecting the rest of the purge system.

Mark,

Thanks - that is what I assumed. Is this hurting my car besides just the inability to fill up at ease? Thanks,
