Fuel Tank Vapor Control Valve? - 10/22/2008 9:33:02 AM    480Ruger Posts: 18 Score: 0 Joined: 3/11/2008 Status: offline The MIL came on after I filled the car up two nights ago.  No codes and the scan tool says the light should be off.  I have the 98-02 Service Manual V6 Supplement but not the Service Manual.  How do I check the Fuel Tank Vapor Control Valve?  Any other things that cause this problem while/from fueling?

If the light is still on scan it again and clear the code... or try a different tool. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008! (in reply to 480Ruger) Post #: 2

Still no codes to clear and I did use a friend’s scan tool along with mine.  I’m not sure if I’m even on the right track.  I just know what I was doing when it started which was just filling up. If I did want to check the Valve what do I need to do and is it on top of the tank where the fuel pump housing is? _____________________________ Ground Pounder Gregg 99 Accord EX V6 AT 4D 00 Dodge Diesel 702 HP Race Truck 03 H-D Fatboy (in reply to finch13) Post #: 3
