2001 Hyundai Elantra EVAP System Problem

Frank McKinney’s question:

have a 2001 Hyundai Elantra. With 180,000 miles. Runs great, with no problems. A few days ago the check engine light came on. I got it scanned and it came back emissions. Then I go to get gas and the pump keeps clicking off. It did that at several different stations. Any ideas.”

Answer:

OK, when the pump clicks off, you’re not getting correct venting in the gas tank. And the EVAP emissions system takes care of that, so odds are you’ve got a blockage somewhere in the Evap system. Sometimes the EVAP canister just gets plugged up and can’t vent vapors anymore (and those vapors then build up pressure in the gas tank and shut the gas pump off. Now if you can e mail me the actual code number you got when it was scanned, I can give you an even better analysis of what could be going wrong. The codes help quite a bit in pinpointing where the problem lies.
