Every time I pump gas it clicks as soon as i start pumping. I replaced the evaporator canister and went straight to the gas station and it did the same thing. I am really frustrated because I cannot drive my car anywhere. Pumping only three to five dollars a day is very annoying. Please help.

The only code i had was a map sensor we changed that. I also changed the evap canister turns out my gas tank is completely full... my gas hand is telling my car its empty when the mechanic looked at it my tank is completely full. I was told to drive it a week and see if it will allow me to pump gas with no problem im thinking im going to eventually have to replace my fuel pump sounds like sending unit to me bit im no Mechanic just work at a parts store lol!
