Make sure your gas cap is on tight. Or you may have to replace your "vent control" valve, which I believe is the same thing as an "canister purge valve.

What year is your car again?? Sounds like a 97-98 Check your vacuum lines leading to your carbon cannister, (95-96) or the stuff that's behind your rear passenger tire (97-98). Also check the vacuum lines that run to the sensors by your front passenger shock tower (97-98). One of the vacuum lines probably has melted, partially disconnected from the sensor or is cut/broken.
Hope this helps...
Good luck!!

Rear EVAP canister is found on 96-98, not just 97-98.
