Small leak can also be some debris cut in the fuel fill neck or even a leak somewhere else. Did you get gas with the engine running?

No smell gas at running and no gas out .
Start point at filler or solenoid ?

Do you have a capless filler neck?

Do you have a capless filler neck?

Yes .. U mean no fuel cap .

 

[RedCandy3.7]

Yes, no fuel cap

If you don't have a gas cap, try inserting the funnel to open and close the flapper door many times to clear the debris away from the filler neck. It's a common problem.

Only cleaning the filler area ? No need to replace the solenoid ? If the solenoid where is the location in my car ?

You shouldn't just throw the solenoid at it. There are two of them one by the engine called the purge solenoid, and one by the tank called the vent solenoid. Try to clean the filler first, then clear the code. If it comes back on then you need to start checking the solenoids.

Im having the same code myself on my 01 . When checking the solenoids what exactly do you look for? How do you actually test them?
