I have a V 6 engine. The engine light is on say something about the vapor canister. When I shut off the car you can hear it ticking around the rear of the car by the gas tank and when you fill up the tank it acts like it does not want to run. I wanted to know if it is the canister or the vent sol connector or the vapor canister purge solenoid?

Hello Bill,

Yep this sounds correct, also check all vacuum and vapor lines to make sure they are not failing apart.

Please let us know what happens.

Best, Ken
