EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (EXCEPT EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CANISTER) (CHECK FOR CLOGGING)
If the fuel-vapor vent line is clogged or damaged, fuel vapor will escape into the atmosphere causing excessive emissions. Disconnect the line at both ends, and blow it clean with compressed air. Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap from the filler tube and check to see if there is evidence that the seal makes improper contact to the filler tube.
