EVAP System Question

With the system operating properly, right after you turn the engine off, if you remove the gas cap should you have a slight sound like a vacuum being released? Anybody know "for sure" rather than just guessing??

Your gas tank should hold pressure. If it doenst, you would throw a code for a leak. I would say definetly yes.

Yep. If it doesn't, first culprit would be your gas cap...

If it is bad it will throw the EVAP sys. code IIRC.
