    Hi ebans777, Thanks so much for the guidance..I had completely forgotten that the hose coming from the box marked "injection" going to behind pcv was cracked @ the end and I wrapped electrical tape around it for a temp fix since I just bought the car and needed to get emission test... Your reply reminded me of it...curious why no light came on though....But thanks again for your help and I will post back when replaced and hopefully solved...

  • What would cause pressure or a vacuum to form in the gas tank?
    Noticed the car idling rough one evening - shut it off, tried to turn it back on, but would turn over and not start. All fluids fine, took off the gas cap and out came a big woosh! We're not sure...
