99 Fuel Tank Pressure System

[CRASH]

Wifes 99 and friends 99 are both having intermitant check engine lights. Wifes sometimes spews a bit of fuel from around the fuel pump mounting gasket.

Neither one of us have pulled the code.....I know I need to do that ASAP, but has anyone heard of this issue with 99's? I think FlexyJoe had the same problem with his 99. He said he spent a bunch of $$$ replacing the entire fuel tank pressurization system, which I would like to avoid.

Any way to search for a TSB on this?

Thanks,

CRASH

I have the same problem with my '99. For the most part I have just learned to ignore it. I have noticed if after filling up the tank that if I CRANK the cap down it will go away. I did have Auto Zone pull the codes. They told me it was the rear O2 sensor. I didn't change it though cuz' I figured that the high O2 sensor reading could be a byproduct of a different problem. I am planing on changing the gas cap to see if that is not sealing properly and not allowing the fuel system to pressurize properly.HTH

My fuel related CEL issue was caused by a crack on the gas tank where the filler neck and the tank connect. Fortunately, it was under warranty at the time, so the dealer dealt with it....
