Consumer Description

AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK AND STOPPING FUELING WHEN THE GAS PUMP STOPS, THE CAR BEGINS TO ACT LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL WHEN I START DRIVING. THE RPMS WILL DROP DOWN FROM 1250 TO AROUND 300-400 AND SHOOT BACK UP. THIS WILL ONLY LAST FOR ABOUT A MILE OR TWO OF DRIVING AND GO AWAY. IT IS HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY AND OTHER INTERNET USERS APPEAR TO HAVE ISSUES WITH COMPLETELY STALLING. IT APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY "VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE."
