The van was running ok than it started stalling. I thought it was out of gas. I went to take the gas cap off and all this pressure came out. Than it ran again. Than the next day I started driving it and it did the same thing it started stalling out. I took the gas cap off and it had all this pressure that came out. So I left the gas cap off and drove it home. When I put the cap bk on and start it it still builds up all this pressure.

Hey ras, I looked for it, didn't find it. I'm still trying to get used to the new site set-up. There was a notice on my email, but, when I clicked on the link, I didn't see it. I'll look again.
