Smelling gas too strong lately. This happened back in 2007 when Vapor Canister Vent Solenoid failed. I suspect it has failed again with the exception that this time I hear fumes hissing escape when opening gas cap. I didn't hear the hiss back in 2007. If the solenoid has failed, maybe it failed open last time and is failing closed now?? (or, something was not re-connected after last months big tear-down)?
Not sure how I can get my hand on the solenoid and connectors all at the same time...does anyone have suggestion on accessing the solenoid without removing the upper intake manifold?? Even with the DPFE & EGR (etc.) removed it looks like an iffy access.
If not solenoid failure, any other ideas of where to snoop?
Thank-you in advance and best to all!
