There is a red button on the head of your power nozzle. It is the reset button. Try hitting it and see if that helps.

I have a Kia Sedona 2005 and I can't fill it up with gas without the pump kicking off and I have tried several gas stations. Sometimes I can get a few gallons in with no problem but then it kicks off again and I have to spend twenty minutes dripping fuel into it until I loose patience. Help me!

    SOURCE: My Bosch shu3307uc pumps out all the water at the

    Hello, welcome to FixYa.

    Based on your post I understand you have a Bosch SHU3307UC dishwasher, correct ? Firther to this you.ve stated "slowly fills the bottom between cycles, even with little or no activity at the sink"


    It sounds to me like the fill valve is at fault unfortunately. This is a very common problem for Bosch dishwashers of that era.

    A faulty fill valve...sticking in the "open" position either due to the plunger in the coil getting stuck or sediment inside the valve body impeding it from closing correctly...Either way you're safer to change it with the history of these valves failing.

    This is what to look for...

    e601791.jpg

    As long as your model is indeed a Bosch, this info below will be accurate.

    Original part is # 425458. It usually retails for about $20 - $30USD at places such as "searspartsdirect.com" "repairclinic.com" to name a couple, if needed. They may be available at your local brick & mortar parts depot/vendors.

    **Before attempting to repair the unit please turn off the power and the water supply to the dishwasher...safety first**


    If you remove the lower kick plate/toe panel, you will see the inlet valve to your left...


    i.e.

    7d9ad1d.jpg

    Replacing it or to check for debris in the filter/screen at the inlet is pretty straight forward. Here`s how...

    1) undo the water line. ( here you can visually inspect the screen in the valve...if nothing noted, you'll likely need to replace it as follows )

    2) Remove the two #20 torx screws fastening it in place.

    156e176.jpg

    3) the feed tube to the machine at the back of the valve and swap it with the new one.

    5937279.jpg
    and

    dd52c6a.jpg


    Once the new one is in or it's all clear you should be good to go.

    Cub cadet 3204 not getting fuel in the fuel filter

    If the engine does not have a gravity fed carb. then there will be a vacuum pump on the engine, this takes a pulse from the rocker box to work a diaphragm, this in turn pulls fuel from the fuel tank, if the pump is faulty then fuel will not fill the inline filter, the pumps are not really serviceable , a quick check to see if its working, there will be three hoses to it, one to the rocker box, one from the fuel tank, and one to the carb, remove this one, put the end into a suitable container, now crank the engine, there should be a flow of fuel.

    When I gas it up it vapor locks and spits gas out the vent holes I have it just barely in the spout and have to go real slow

    Are you talking about filling the gas tank>> If yes,,, That is NOT vapor lock... thats just the angle, speed of delivery, size of hose in vehicle, etc that causes the gas to spit out,, try not putting it in so far, and use a different angle.. (mine does the same thing!)..

    Vapor Lock is when the engine/carb get so hot that the fuel vaporizes in the fuel lines and carb...THEN "vapor" cannot be pumped into the engine... and it wont run... now ya know!! :)

    Each time that I fill up my gasoline tank, my car doesn't want to start. Once the car is started, I have to keep the idle up because of rough idling. when I do start to drive, No other problems..

    This symptom is usually caused by an issue with the evap system.It solely depends on vehicle type,but this system usually includes the gas cap,various hoses,a rollover/ vent valve,carbon canister and a purge valve.This system basically prevents fuel vapors from escaping to the atmosphere and these vapors are instead sent from the fuel tank to a carbon canister where they're stored until the engine uses a purge valve and engine vacuum to draw these vapors directly into the engine usually through a intake manifold vacuum fitting where these vapors are then burned just like raw fuel is.So it's part of the emissions system. When these vapors aren't allowed to escape from the fuel tank via the system components I listed,it basically creates a vapor lock condition and the symptoms you're having.It could be something as simple as a faulty gas cap or leaking/ clogged evap system vacuum hose or possibly a bad vent valve or purge valve.Most of these components are easy to access and replace with the exception of the vent valve which is located in the top of the fuel tank,which would obviously require you to either drop or,hopefully,just lower the fuel tank to access/replace the valve.If a check engine light comes/stays on when the symptoms are present,a code would possibly be stored which you could verify with a scanner.If you don't own one,AutoZone/Oreillys/Etc will scan the vehicle for you also if you don't own one & it's free.

    Po441 2002 Hyundai, engine hard starting after fill up

    Most likely is a bad EVAP purge valve. But check below list.
    This indicates that a part of the EVAP control system is no longer functioning correctly. The EVAP system consists of many parts, including (but not limited to) the gas cap, fuel lines, carbon canister, purge valve, and other hoses. The (EVAP) emission control system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from a vehicle'sicon1.png fuel system. Fuel vapors are routed by hoses to a charcoal canister for storage. Later, when the engine is running a purge control valve opens allowing intake vacuum to siphon the fuel vapors into the engine.

    EVAP emission canister purge is controlled by a valve which allows engine vacuum to pull stored fuel vapors from fuel tank into the engine to be burned, rather than be vented to atmosphere. A vacuum switch is used to detect when flow exists. If the PCM commands purge and sees that the switch is closed (indicating no detected purge flow) P0441 is set.
    FB.init("dd7d9e9681341cde77587bc6a2029f6f"); OBD-Codes.com on Facebook Symptoms

    Likely, no symptoms will be discernible to the driver, other than the illuminated Check Engine Light.
    Causes

    A code P0441 could mean one or more of the following has happened:

    • Bad vacuum switch
    • Broken or damaged EVAP line or canister
    • Open in PCM purge command circuit
    • Open or short in Voltage feed circuit to Purge Solenoid
    • Faulty purge solenoid
    • Restriction in EVAP solenoid, line or canister
    • Corrosion or resistance in purge connector
    • Bad PCM
    Possible Solutions

    With a P0441 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try:

    • Replace Leak Detection Pump / LDP
    • Repair damaged EVAP lines or canister
    • Repair open or short in voltage feed circuit to Purge Solenoid
    • Repair open in PCM purge command circuit
    • Replace purge Solenoid
    • Replace vacuum switch
    • Repair restriction in Evap line or canister or solenoid
    • Repair resistance in purge connector
    • Replace PCM

    A vacuum hose brokegoing into carb. cut some exses off car started but stalled again. got a new vacuum hose on it but now the car turns over but wont start?

    Possible vapor lock, try using some starter fluid, spray just a touch in carb. Another thing, is keep gas pedal to floor, and trying to start. Do not pump pedal, just keep to floor as you crank over motor.

    Car won't start after filling up the gas tank.

    Just helped a friend fix this exact same issue on his 2004 hyundai santa fe. Replaced the purge control valve - a $39 part, even from the dealer. Had to get our hands dirty, but it took literally one single hour to replace the part. Filled it up immediately afterward and no more starting problems. Part is located directly behind the manifold - top, rear of the engine compartment - just between the engine

    When I go to fill up the gas tank the gas keeps cutting off at the pump handle and I have to slow the gas pump to a trickle in order to fill the tank.

    The problem is that your gas tank "pushes back" like it's full even when it isn't and makes the fuel valve click off. Tom and Ray on Car Talk covered this in a 2007 show and I pasted some of their response below:

    "RAY: This condition is probably caused by either a blockage in your gasoline vapor recovery lines or a bad refueling control valve.

    TOM: Gasoline vaporizes. How do we know that? Well, when gasoline is spilled, you can smell it, right? What you're smelling is vaporized gasoline.

    RAY: And in the old days, when you filled up your tank, all the air inside the tank -- the air filled with gasoline vapors -- came whooshing out through the filler hole or through a vent at the top of the gas tank.

    TOM: But then people in places like Los Angeles realized they couldn't see the person standing next to them due to smog. And since gasoline vapors contribute to smog, car makers were forced to install devices to capture those vapors.

    RAY: So now each car has a vapor recovery unit that collects the gasoline vapors from the tank and then, the next time the car is started, sends them to the engine, where they're combusted. Your vapor recovery system isn't working, Lottie. One possibility is that one of the rubber hoses is blocked or collapsed."

    2004 matrix will not take gas when trying to fill the tank. It will click the pump off over and over.

    try and pull the nozzel out just a little bit and if that doesn't work then i would check the vapor hose and see if it has any blockage. and if it does then change it out.

    I have a 2003 kia sorento ex. When the return line is removed....it starts fine.....but when it is placed back....it wont start. |Also......engine wont start when its hot......until its left off for about...

    If you take the fuel return line off and it starts, it should spray some fuel out of the fitting the line slips onto. If not, you are either pulling the vaccum line or the pressure regulator is bad, or you could have a fuel pump going bad. One way to check the regulator is to apply vacuum to the port on the regulator and turn the key to "run" not start. With vacuum applied, fuel should run out of the return line fitting. If not, bad regulator or weak pump, maybey even a clogged fuel filter. If so, vacuum leak or blocked hose. Let me know if this helps :)
