Hook up your OBDII reader and post what the actual code is. They have the codes for a reason.

BlueDriver is what I use, it even suggests a fix.

Have a vacuum leak error code. Fuel tank thought to be the problem. Anyone have any experience with this issue?

Car experienced some sputtering when Check Engine light came on for this issue.

I had a 2005 Thunderbird with an Evap problem that took a long time to fix, it was trial and error, the last attempt fixed it, I changed that car for another same model with less miles and wouldn't you know it, the very same problem, I just got it out of the shop yesterday so we'll see.

Our 2005 had an evap code, changed the gas cap, still showing evap code. Dealer found a crack in a fuel tank where the fill tube connected to the tank, removed and repaired fuel tank 2 years ago and no further problems. We went with repairing the tank on the car, could have bought a used one, but never know what you're getting and it may have needed repairs as well.
