I just finished my fuel injection and in the instructions it states that I must use a VENTED cap, I have been using a cap that says vented and anti-serg but still makes noise when I remove it.
the tank is a stock looking tank but with baffles.

the car wont run when the take has the pressure what should i do?

It's not pressure in your tank, it's vacuum from the fuel leaving the tank and air not properly taking it's place.

Is your vented cap new?

Nick the cap says vented and i can blow through it as well as draw air through. II much fab is a little pricey so i will try to add a filter as a breather on the tank

In the end the II Much piece will end up not being that expensive as there are a lot of inexpensive fixes you can go though before finding what works properly. Especially if you plan on using the car for spirited and/or aggressive driving.
