Typical fuel system symptoms owners report
- Engine stalls or loses power while driving, sometimes after accelerating or while climbing hills, with the check engine light coming on.
- A sucking or grunting/vibration noise comes from the gas tank, followed by the car cutting off and taking a while to restart.
- A gas odor is noticeable inside the cabin at varying strength while driving.
- The canister purge valve reportedly sticks open, creating excessive vacuum in the fuel vapor system and triggering stalling at low speed.
- A stuck-open fuel injector was found to flood a cylinder with gasoline, requiring engine repair, after spark plugs, fuel filter, and coil pack replacement did not fix the stalling.
- A high-pressure fuel pump was replaced for loss of power uphill, but the problem reportedly continued afterward.
