<VV> Strange power loss problem fixed - now vacuum at idle

[Keith Onchuck]

Matt - This whole problem started last summer.  I
think I drove it less than 100 miles.  I did notice
the gas smell when I filled the tank but is was not
very siginificant.  When I got the car home there was
nothing on the ground as the gas evaporated by then.  

I never put the two together that they were related. 
That is all water under the bridge now, or is it gas
under the car...  It is now back to normal and as soon
as the roads clear I can get out and drive it again.  

I have had the car for 12 years now, I guess I
expected it to last a lifetime.  ;-)

WHAT???  ggggg

How could you put gas in without some of it spilling
on the ground????  
I've 
replaced many of these that leaked like a
sieve...smelled really bad 
after 
fillup.....and even when the hoses were SPONGY....they
were intract!!!

You've had this car for several years...right???  fill
us 
in.....inquiring 
minds.....
