Car acts like the tank is full when there is less that half. Can put gas in, nozzle shuts off. I am preparing to replace the canister purge valve. Is there something else I should be looking at?

Thanks

Sorry No codes. According to my understanding the vent valve is the canister purge valve on this car. It's also known as a canister vent valve. I couldn't locate any other valve

There should be a canister purge solenoid in the engine compartment that controls vacuum flow to the tank. The vent valve seals the tank so that the evap system can be checked for leaks. Sometimes spiders build webs etc and block the vent valves tubes.
