96 Gt With A Vacuum Leak

sorrowfulkiller · August 30th, 2007, 12:13 PM

I checked with advance auto it was pulling up a code saying that the evaporative system has a leak in it, I'm thinking I have a ripped vacuum tube.... does anyone have any diagrams to take off the gas tank? or possibly instructions?

I see underneath the car its got 2 straps on the tank with 3 screws... can I just drop the tank by unhooking these and lowering it or what?

HMUSN · August 30th, 2007, 12:21 PM

yea those straps hold up the tank...

your going to want to do it on a near empty tank and make sure to hit your switch in the truck.

ujslost · August 30th, 2007, 01:42 PM

was the code p1443? by any chance?

sorrowfulkiller · August 30th, 2007, 04:18 PM

It could have been that code, been a month or more since I last got it checked though >_>

ujslost · August 30th, 2007, 04:28 PM

I have P1443 in mine and its the purge valve.

Well its a good thing you didnt write any important information down so we could help ya..

the entire point of this thread was to ask about the gas tank... not the code I encountered, and although I appreciate ujslost's help, your comments however Fryrice weren't needed. I don't want to give the impression that I'm an ass but like I said... the comment wasn't needed

sorrowfulkiller,
Fryrice is just messing with ya. I'm 100% sure he didnt mean anything personal. Like he said around here, we help each other out the best we can, but we do some major ball busting around here. When I joined here I felt the same as you. But after talking to a few of the guys here 1 on 1 and posting more. I realized this place is really laid back. We take care of the technical stuff and have a good time while doing it.

If there is anything we can help you with any further please do ask us.

Fryrice · September 2nd, 2007, 05:00 PM

^ Yup what he said.

sorrowfulkiller · September 29th, 2007, 08:27 PM

actually it is th p1334 code, where is the purge valve and what can I do to fix it?

sorrowfulkiller · September 29th, 2007, 08:29 PM

ujslost · September 30th, 2007, 10:11 AM

let it go, i get that code, and so do alot of other ppl here. its no big deal. could have gotten it if ya gased up with the engine running or didnt tighten the gas cap good.

G.T. Rags · September 30th, 2007, 10:47 AM

i through mine after i dumped 4 things of octane boost in an empty tank when i ran out of gas........

ujslost · September 30th, 2007, 11:02 AM

jersey98gt · September 30th, 2007, 11:05 AM

G.T. Rags · September 30th, 2007, 11:15 AM

3.99.......

i wasn't about to walk to the closest gas station only to have them tell me they didn't have a gas can.....which as it turns out they didn't.

ujslost · September 30th, 2007, 11:25 AM

Someone told me that the E on the gas gauge means empty?
I always thought it was E for enough!
Sounds like ragtop thought the same thing.

G.T. Rags · September 30th, 2007, 11:29 AM

my gas gauge wasn't on E bro.......i'm not a moron

the little needle was just before it.....a good 2-3 centimeters

ujslost · September 30th, 2007, 01:24 PM
