Evap

Had this in a previous thread.
Sorry guys I know i'm bombing you with threads, but as soon as my trouble code and this problem are gone, I will leave ya in peace


My EVAP canister makes a funny noise. When its hot outside, after turning the engine off it sounds like a far away vacuum cleaner. It makes a high, meeping noise, and the hose connected to it vibrates. I also get fuel odor in the car when the canister is doing that.
BTW, if I open the tank to let pressure out, the meeping stops for a while and comes back on then.

Is that thing broken or whut?

Thx.. A bunch.. (oh my, did I throw that at your head??? I'm sorry...)

It sounds like the purge control valve or tank pressure control valve are getting dry and not sealing well. You can get a replacement purge valve at many auto parts stores.
