A couple of days ago I started smelling gasoline fumes under the hood, pass side. Today we pulled the wheel well liner and inspected everything. The hose going to the vent line was a little loose but that's it. Didn't have too much time to check everything but the lines going to it seemed ok. I pulled out the vacuum line on manifold side of the canister purge valve and have good vacuum. I then removed it from the car, applied 12V and can hear it clicking (assuming it's opening and closing?). Resistance was 60 ohms.
I don't think it's coming from the fuel hoses unless they are falling apart from the inside. Only other thing I can think of is I filled the tank a few days until I heard the first click, then pumped a few more cents to round it off. Canister should have dried by now if too much gas got in somehow? This is driving me nuts, I really have no time to mess with it and it's stressing me the **** out. Recent work on the car is 2 fresh Motorcraft 02 sensors, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, coil and ACT. Also did the fuel filter today while it was up on the lift.
ANy suggestions? At this point I just want to buy a new canister, valve, change all the vacuum lines and the fuel hoses loll.
