any normal car while pumping and the gas tank gets full the nozzle clicks and stops pumping, my 99 ES300 while pumping stops every 2-3 seconds nozzle clicks and if u force the nozzle gas will shoot back out...

anything info will help thanks..

 

That symptom normally points to a plugged vent, however a plugged vent should have triggered a check engine light, with an evap system code. So it's a bit puzzling.

yea no check engine lights, maybe its something mechanical and not electrical, maybe a clogged hose or valve....i just dont have a clue

 

A clogged hose or valve would have caused a CEL to trigger, that's why I said that it's puzzling.

Here is a link that may help you

Maybe try a different gas station? lol not sure if u go to same one but sound like the gas pump is messed up

 

Sometimes the pressure acts up against the thing. I found driving around a bit then releasing the pressure resets it. Stupid thing really

 

I had this happen on a Ford van. The vent was clogged or bent. Easy fix at the shop.

 

I'm inclined to agree. I had the exact same thing happen a month back. I didnt think much of it, filled up 10$ and drove somewhere else ad filled it up - it was fine.

 

It did freak me out a bit though. I had no gas to get home when it happened haha
