Some pumps have more pressure than others, too much flow will restrict the flow shutting off the pump nozzle works on flow as car gets full it makes pressure to the nozzle and shuts it off

2005 DODGE CARAVAN STALLS OUT AFTER YOU FILL IT UP WITH GAS

When filling the tank, stop filling when the pump clicks off. It sounds like you are overfilling the tank getting gas onto the built in evaporator.

Just stop filing when pump clicks off.

How do I fix my gas tank. I put gas in but it doesn't let me pump without clicking every few seconds. It's not the adjustment of the pump where you move it and it fills.

I don't know year--make--model?
Check vent line and/or evap system. The air in the tank has to go somewhere or it will burp back up the fill tube and shut off the gas pump.

What do these codes mean on a diagnostics check? c, ev, o, oh,e? what are these numbers for ISO9141 KWP2000 and why does it steady blink on monitor then say backfire problems?

you need to read the manual for the machine you are hooking to the vehicle .
These are errors not codes you need to understand how it works better.

Can't put in gas except a trickle

Some pump nozzles are a bit touchy and will sense any splash back from the gas tank. What really helps... only put the pump nozzle half way into the tank. It has more to do with the gas hose at the pump than with your car. Good luck.

When I fill-up my ford contour the gas pump keeps clicking off. can only put in a little gas at a time

Check the vent tube which is alongside the gas fill tube. It's either kinked, bent, pinched, or some how blocked, not allowing easy flow of gas into the tank. Once the tube is open, you will not have trouble. You don't give the year, it's possible it needs to be replaced (comes as a unit with the fill tube) if rusting badly.

Jump start it, and keep pumping that gas pedal.

Good Luck.
