I was in Anza Borrego this weekend and after climbing a long trail that got my temp past 230* .
I let it cool a bit and turning the key, the fuel pump was growling bad. No start. Dam.
After the usual checks, tried again. Growling pump and No Start.
Now I'm in trouble! 110* out, backwoods trail, ok don't panic.
So I Crack my gas cap and Whoosh for a good minute it let's out pressure, some fuel spits out too.
So I try to start, almost did.
Back to cap, pressure again.
Leave cap loose, it starts and I drive home with it loose no troubles.
Now I have it tight and no incidents since.
Never had that fuel system do that before since I've owned it brand new.
Just my story for your info.
