[@positivewarrior5206]

Thanks bro... that hissing noise when I open the cap is exactly what I have!! Problem solved thanks so much! NOBODY on the whole dam internet ever bothered to explain how air relates to the gas cap except you. 😂That was exactly the piece of information I needed to solve my Corolla engine light problem.

[@fairautorepair2787]

Glad i could help 😃

[@SergioCamposJurado]

I love my Corolla, but I thought the vacuum noise was expected so I never tried to fix it!

[@bensemuyaba2994]

And how did you fix it

[@ramvan2284]

Dang…. You are just a likable guy Willie. Thx for the pro tip

[@MrJaviercito62]

​@fairautorepair2787 but how you fix it?

[@jeanabnerguerrier]

Man!!!!!! This video saved $500+ …. I checked the gas cap and it did that vacuum hiss you spoke of. Smh… Car shop almost got me.

[@fairautorepair2787]

Awesome

[@georgepickett6853]

Wish I'd have seen this yesterday. Changed the fuel pump. Changed the MAF. Changed the valve cover. On daughter in laws 2016 chevy trax. Went to the back of the vehicle and heard a gurgling sound. Stuffed a paper towel in it and the engine lined right out. Thanks for your help sir

[@damage6836]

Haha I hear you man...goddamn it...

[@nimroddiaries_]

Willing my hero. Our town and country was throwing EGR codes, then GASCAP... I was about to venture down the path of the EGR system then I found you. Same vacuum when taking the cap off, new cap and no more codes. Thank you sir! 73 and God bless

[@samanthawilson4692]

Omg I have a 2007 Pt Cruiser and if I tell you I've had problems, yes I have. Gas cap and check engine light is on. Going to change the cap and see what's up. Thanks for the info. 🙏🏽

what did u do bc my gas cao was off for a while until I noticed and fixed it but the engine light is still on

[@2littegirlgamersgamers721]

@@jimmybarreraa2804I believe a mechanic needs to reset something in the car so engine light will go off

[@terrysinger7828]

Thank you, I am going out to buy a new gas cap asap! I will try that first. Dash is showing check gas cap. Check engine light is on. Was told my canister purge valve was bad, but going to try gas cap first.

[@xVacant429]

So that’s what that sound was. Yesterday I check my gas cap and it made that exact noise. I’m definitely gonna change the gas cap now! Thank you so much.

Very informative video

[@alcameron6071]

Very informative. My check engine light came on today and so far everything seems to point the gas cap. Mine makes that noise sometimes but not all the time. So I’m guessing that means my gas cap is still faulty and it is finally triggering the check engine light? I have a locking gas cap I’m going to take it off tomorrow and put the stock one back on and see what happens. do I have to take off the negative terminal and reset the check engine light or will it go off automatically once I change gas caps? Thanks for your help.

Common problem in saturn vue but it will keep doing it even after changing caps over and over,the only info i could find to fix it is a locking gas cap

I had the same issue a year ago and I just seen some one on you tube post about a gas cap to risk it and I think I fixed my problem after mas flow sensor put on new another sensor that didn’t needed it does make ur car run like crap

[@shotgunmacgaming2391]

Can a bad gas cap cause jerking and bucking? I plan on getting my coils and spark plugs replaced to help out, but wanted to see if this may be causing it.

[@denisestiewel8655]

Very informative video, thank you ! My check engine light came on with my 2006 Toyota Tundra truck. I do believe it is the gas cap but the code says PO333 which is supposedly the Knock Sensor 2. Circuit High Input (Bank 2) issue(s). Is it possible the loose gas cap could cause this particular code reading instead of the “loose cap “ code of another number ? I will buy a new cap today but I would please like to know the answer as you are a very knowledgeable mechanic ! Thank you

[@fairautorepair2787]

I owned a Lexus ES350 and had to change the knock sensors on it. On that engine it was best to replace both knock sensors and a knock sensor harness at the same time so that I would not have to go back in and repair second time. Toyota make good vehicles, that car had 230,000 miles and it ran smoother than any other vehicle i ever owned.

[@fairautorepair2787]

But yes replace the cap 1st. It can cause all kinds of weird problems

Could the enginge management light come on with a loose diesel cap also? Thanks.

[@gaberodriguez4270]

My gas cap stopped clicking about 2 months ago, didn't think much of it, it still felt like it tightened. Then a couple weeks later, my check engine light turned still on. So I bought a new gas cap, the NEW gas cap didn't click either. I tightened it as much as I could and went on my way. I don't notice any performance changes at all but my check engine light is still on. Any advice?

[@OGGood-lb7bd]

If the car running good cooling level if fine no strange noises it just needs resting

[@celestebrooks4823]

Will the engine light turn right off or how do you clear it to see if it comes back on? Gas cap was off for a while.

[@juantellez9280]

My truck does that same same sounds when I remove the gas cap maybe that's why the evaporative system hasn't cleared on the scanner

Cheers pal. 😊👍 UK.

Wuddup Willie. I have a 2005 toyota camry. My service engine light now remains on. Everytime I pull the fuel door release switch to open the fuel door the gas cap is loose. I turn it until it clicks several times and close the fuel door but when I pull the switch again right away and check the cap it be loose. Do you know if when the switch is pulled to open the fuel door does that automatically loosen the cap for convenience or could my gas cap be malfunctioning?

I have that in my f250 6.2 gas. It take forever to fill the tank. Throws me 2 codes (p1450 and p0451) my truck runs good. No problems at all. Just the suction noise through the Yellow gas cap. I think this is my problem. What is your opinion?

[@johnnydiaz8739]

When air gets in the tank will it cause gas mileage low like poor gas mileage

[@JorgeRamirez-lt2nm]

Can that cause also a fuel smell inside the car? I have a 2011 malibu and about two weeks ago it started smelling fuel from the vents but also even if the car is parked, smell on the outside….. common issue would be a vacuum line or injectors, but being parked I don’t think that would be the problem and also is consumes more fuel than usual, and a massage just popped out in my dash “check gas cap”….. thanx in advance

[@noapolofuckingees]

I have a ram promaster cargo van and I just recently replaced the gas cap and it has a lock on it. When I replaced it, the light went off…but came back on. I put some more gas in it later and it went out…and came back on…frustrating! I haven’t overfilled it-I’m in LA where the gas has been crazy high! Any suggestions?

Would suck to spend that $$ for it onky to be a gas cap! Luckily the code registered my cap and it’s not clicking anymore. Hopefully this solves my problem too!

Hi brother I have a ? For you, I had replaced the whole fuel pump system, fuel high pressure regulator and fuel pressure sensor. I still don’t understand why the vehicle sound like it struggle for gas. Maybe you can guide me too the right path. Should I replaced valve purge and canister closed valve. Right now Can’t figure what’s the deal with this 2014 Kia Soul 1.6L engine

[@fuzzyfultz]

My check engine light code said gas cap. Been on twice now, today I replaced the gas cap right after they cleared the code. Hopefully that fixed the problem. However I just had a fuel pump replaced two weeks ago. Since then has this problem started. Hopefully it was just the gas cap. Fingers crossed.thank you Sir fir the info.

[@Truthsearcherforever777]

If a gas cap will cause an engine light to turn on then what codes is it going to throw?

[@brendaspencer9776]

What about for those with a Ford that has a capless tank. Mine just opens up from the door and there is no cap its sealed until you insert the gas nozzle from gas station. But there is definitely a problem that is happening in this area.

[@fairautorepair2787]

Good question. Any problem with the nozzle, the filler neck assembly will have to be replaced.
