    I wonder why it decided to show up when it did. I also wonder why it took 8 months for it to manifest itself.

    basically, the canister was not able to purge off the extra fuel vapors to be sent back into the manifold to be burnt off and it took 18k to fill the canister up with enough fuel vapors to clog it causing the fuel tank pressure to read high causing the fuel to not be able to enter the fuel tank because it thought it was already full. i replaced the canister as it was filled with fuel and connected the canister purge line to the vent line. problem solved now. sorry you had to go through this alex.

    What is grsti.com? Who owns/runs that community?

    I remember King telling me about this problem, definitely somewhat of an odd occurrence.

    I'm not sure who runs the site I just found it oneday while searching for some mods. As you can see it is very new and not much traffic.
