I work on many different makes and models of cars. Yours is not to complicated. Often times you wont have a DTC set even though there may be an issue with emissions. Do you know how the Evap system works? If you do I suspect the EVAP canister is restricted. Or if you have a intermittent condition it could be caused by a damaged EVAP vent housing, a temporary blockage at the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve inlet, or a pinched vent hose. A blockage in the vent system will also cause a poor fuel fill condition. These are your first indicators to check. There are specific tools that will enable you to make a proper system test, but I wont get into that unless you post again. Regards, Mark
