mines actually a two door, and it does have clambs on the actual neck but on that part w/the air in the neck that one does not. So ill check everythign you said hopefully tonight, if my girl still isnt mad at me, cuz we got into a fight, and if so ill let you know how it goes, ill go to autozone and get them to clear the codes after i get a new gas cap and see what happens, and if that messes up, then ill ask ya for further assistance and where actually to go check the other stuff out.

Ok, well then... For a 2 door, see the pic at the bottom.
Yes, not having a clamp on the vent tube could be the entire cause of the problem. If that is leaking even in the slightest bit, it could throw the code you have. I'd get a clamp on there and see how things go. After that, if the code still is present, I'd try a new gas cap. They do go bad and since GM has the EVAP system integrity check, they throw a code. The clamp shouldn't be all that difficult to get to (I wouldn't think), but I have been surprised before. Again, the proceedure for replacing the fuel filler neck on a 2-door still does not require that the tank be dropped.

Ok,...i think i know of a way to do it w/out dropping the tank, atleast i hope, so ill do that and see if that's the problem. But see the thing that is bothering me is that like today it kinda dogged down at one point, just like surged only one time though, so im worried whats up. so im not sure

I'm betting you are just hyper sensitive right now. An EVAP error will cause no drivability concerns, unless your charcoal canister is full of fuel and that is making its way into the intake through the purge solenoid... If that's the case, then you need to replace the charcoal canister and possible the roll-over checkvalve on the tank. You can check this by pulling it out and tipping it upside down. I've got some work to do, but I'll get back to you later on where the charcoal canister is located.

yeah i would appreciate it if you could tell me where this is located because honestly i dont work on cars but when i do, i do a good job and get it done roughly fast, so i dont know much of the charcoal canister or the roll-over checkvalve, so just let me know when you get back i appreciate it, im off work in thirty so ill check it when i get home, i appreciate it.

Another thing that is up w/it, it could be idle, i hate to say so many things w/out getting the first one fixed, but today i didnt even push on the gas and it for real just idling went up to 25 miles an hour even switch from first to second, so it felt, and im pretty sure it did because rpms dropped, and it hit 25 when i decided id go because people be hind me, so that was kidn of weird.

Ok,....im pretty sure i know what it is,..i went outside and started up my car, before i went to autozone and was gonna look where the air meter thing on the tank w/e that was you said, that i said didnt have a clamp on it, and that looked to be fine, so i was like what the hell, so then i go to the other sid eof the tank and i keep getting these little particles that are hitting me in the face that are wet, so i move to the side, and where the exhaust comes from the engine then connects to the cat i believe it's called, then exhaust continues to the back and shoots out there, its leaking where it comes from the cat, so i got to go get that fixed. Thanks for all your help when i get it fixed ill let you know how it is.
This is what was shooting back gas particles at me, and what i believe is causing the emissions.
This is the blazer we have been talking about.
If you look a little bit in front of the rear tire in this picture you can see a stain in the ground that was caused from about three minutes of the car running in idle and it dripping from where i took that other picture. The big stain towards the front of the car isnt mine.
Man does anyone know of a good photo hosting website that is free and can allow pretty big pictures.

So gas is leaking out of the muffler??? Wow, I'm surprised you haven't had a flame thrower for a tail pipe yet...
YIKES!!!
You might end up needing a new CAT before this whole thing is over. Way overly rich AFR can destroy a catalytic converter. Check your oil level, because if you are getting that much fuel out your tail pipe, I'm surprised the thing is still running... The new fuel pump could have blown out the FPR...

I wont have any money til friday, is it okay to drive it until then? So you are pretty sure that is why the ses light is on because of the emissions? So if i change out the CAT do you think there is anything else besides that, that i will need to go change?

Ok,....where it was leaking was just the tail pipe is what a muffler specialist told me today, he looked at it, and said that it was probably just water, one guy said that i should change the CAT because it was prolly bad, but i went to two other places and they said that the CAT was fine, so no on that. So basically auto zone said they cant clear the codes if its an emissions code, because that can be fatal. So basically my last option is to spend alot of money trying to find out what the hell it is at a dealership for them to look and see what's up.
