My 2004 kia sorento has an intermittent check engine light that displays error code p0446. The light comes on and off as it pleases.

I have replaced the gas cap as indicated but this did not fix the problem. *tr

When refueling the tank will suddenly "spray"gasoline forcefully from the neck of the gas tank for several seconds. Took it in on the voluntary recall and had the air filter replaced. Car worked fine for about 2 weeks but is now experiencing the same problem again. Pumped less than $25.00 in the tank two nights ago and was sprayed with gasoline! *tr
