Hello,
first, excuse my unprecise english, it's not my native langage.
I have a strange problem with my 6 (2.3L, 2008, 241.737kms, all stock). It began two month ago at ~239.500kms. When I refuel, even if the gas level is very low, I can only put gas very slowly (20 minutes to fill the tank from almost empty) or the pump will release after each 0.5L
One month ago, I replaced a small kind of filter which is located just behind the rear fender, after the gas "hole". It has a line that goes with the refuelling line. I don't know its name but it's normally hidden by the rear fender cover. That cover was missing on my car so the filter I replaced was full of snow everytime. I got the piece by myself at a scrap yard and blew in to check it. This didn't resolve the problem.
At the same time, I replaced the purge valve solenoid, without any effect on the problem.
two weeks ago, after a 400kms trip, I shutted down the car and when I restarted it, the CEL remained on:
P2401 EVAP Leak Detection Pump Control Circuit Low.
the odometer indicated ~ 240.800kms. I found that strange so I decided to clear the code and see if it would come again. after 1000km, still no check engine.
Yesterday, during a 200km trip, I felt 4~5 times an engine shake, like when your fuel tank is almost empty and the car complaints. I was driving at 115 km/h (~71mph) without cruise control when I felt those shakes. the tank was around 1/4 full.
Now the odo indicates 241.737kms and I noticed the fuel consumption increased a little.
After some researches, I suspect that a clogged vapor canister is the culprit.
Does someone here ever have this problem?
And do you know where is it located in the car?

Thanks!
