My wife informed me the other day that our Forester was having problems filling up. She could hear it bubbling in the filler neck and the pump would shut off every gallon or so uness you pumped very slowly. The car would also by want to idle right after getting gas and would occasionally be hard to start.
Now I have read some of the threads on this issue but a new issue popped up and based on the codes seems to be related. Last night I drove the car and out of the blue while driving it started surging, sputtering, trying to stall. A few times it did stall. Usually by the time I pulled over and stopped it would be running fine again. I stopped at the parts store and had the codes read. One was "right bank running rich", something about a"emissions, small leak detected EVAP" something (i should have wrote them down), and P1443. I've read threads about all of these issues but I haven't seen all these together or the cutting off while driving.
Am I having multiple things fail? Is one issue causing the other? Is it one issue? Is it just the purge control valve? There were 2 other valves the parts guy showed me but their names escape me. Or does it sound more like something at the tank, one of the canisters or vents? I read some prcedures on threads to help diagnose these issues so I'm going out to try those now, it's just the many symptoms I'm having that's throwing me off. Any help is appreciated.
