Evap canister filling with gas
Hey guys, was just driving the car around today for a little bit and it started to sputter really bad. I could also see some black smoke coming out of the exhaust. It finally died when I got onto my street and I coasted to a stop. Waited a couple minutes and it would start then die right away. Waited a little bit more and it started and stayed running this time. Got back into my driveway and when I popped the hood there was gas pouring out of the evap canister.
I removed the canister and it's just filled with gas. When I pulled it into the driveway it seemed to be running fine until I let it idle and it started to rev up and down. I searched on this site and Google and didn't really come up with anything. Any suggestions?

Fuel pump recently replaced? If so then the CCP vent line and the return line hoses at the tank got swapped.
