I Have a 1993 Celica 2.2L everytime i get gas and i take the cap out it hisses for like 3 seconds.... now i was let to believe this is a bad cap cuz its not venting right and the tank is sucking itself so tight when i open it its rushing air into it.... if this is true will my gas tank implode??? or is it pressure rushing out???..... or should i buy a new gas cap....???

Check the purging solenoid and C/C

Keep fixing it- till it breaks
