Engine Performance problem
1999 Hyundai Accent 4 cyl Automatic 83000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
every time I fill up my gas tank, the pump shuts of every 10-15 seconds and it can take 15 minutes to fill my tank. I've been told it is probably the purge control valve. Local parts stores are not sure what it is. Is it the same as a canister purge control valve? Is it fairly easy to replace? Also, when driving on the freeway yesterday, I suddenly lost power. The motor would rev but the car was not accellerating, almost like I was in neutral. I have had no previous problems and it is running fine today on all the small streets. What could be causing this? Any help appreciated

The filler hose to your tank also has a vent line or hose, this allows the air in the tank to come out while you fill it with gas, if this is plugged or rusted and collapsed, it would take forever for the tank to fill as the air has to try to get by the fuel coming in on the same hose. Maybe. The tranny thing sounds like the fluid needs to be changed, it may be breaking down when hot, or not enough in there. I'd first change the filter and fuild and go from there...
