Problem:
When I refuel my 2001 Protege MP3 the pump clicks off every time I put approximately 1/4 gallon into my car at every gas station I have filled at.
Background:
I am the original owner of the vehicle. This has been an ongoing issue for approximately six months. The vehicle is mainly driven in the winter and sits the majority of the time during summer. Approximately one month ago I had a p0170 lean bank 1 engine code and determined that my accordian air intake hose had a tear in it. That has been replaced and I cleared the codes by disconnecting the battery and turning on the lights until all power was lost. MIL is no longer present.
Known:
The non-return valve at the end of the filling tube is/was not obstructed and moves freely. I recently removed it completely to determine if it was possibly seated incorrectly and it appears that this has increased the problem somewhat. I plan to reinstall this.
The air filter and evaporative check valve (FSM page 1-16-3) are functioning properly as specified in the FSM. The fuel filler neck was removed and it is not obstructed. All evaporative hoses that are visible near the gas tank appear to be in good condition and are not kinked.
There does not seem to be an audible vacuum leak under the hood and a quick visual check shows no signs of problems.
Unknown:
I did not test the catch tank. I also need to perform the charcoal canister and need to do the canister to fuel tank test and the canister to purge solenoid test found on page 01-03b-55.
I am unsure of how to test the canister drain cut valve (CDCV) and the purge solenoid valve as I am not very skilled with electronics.
I am unable to get a good view of the hoses that come off of the back-passenger side of the fuel tank but I could feel a few of them. Are there any simple things I could do to rule these components out as the cause of the problem?
Ideas/Solutions:
Does anybody know of any quick fixes or possibly a way to easily and safely eliminate the evaporative system?
How about any suggestions?
Sorry for the lengthy post and thanks a bunch for replies. Trying to sort this out in a cold garage is no fun so I really appreciate feedback!
