2010 Toyota Porte build up gas in tank. Bought new petrol cap still doing it.

First scan the OBDll system to see if any codes are present. You should be looking to see if a P0400 type of code is present. If it is , it would indicate that there may be a problem with the emission system in the car. It is possible that the evaporative system is not allowing the fuel tank to vent properly. This could be due to the vent solenoid not working or a vent line that is blocked. Good luck

PO400 check engine light is on seems to run normal what to do?

P0400 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Malfunction
The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve is vacuum controlled valve that regulates the amount of exhaust gases that re-enter the cylinders. The powertrain control module (PCM) determines how much based on engine load, temp, and other conditions. If the PCM detects that the amount of exhaust gases entering the cylinder were insufficient or non-existent, this code is set.

No symptoms will likely be noticed by the driver other than the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp). However, non visible symptoms will be increased combustion temperature and increased Nox emissions. A code P0400 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
- Plugged EGR passage which restricts the flow of exhaust gasses
- Faulty EGR solenoid
- Faulty EGR solenoid wiring/harness
- Vacuum lines damaged/disconnected to the EGR valve solenoid or to the EGR valve
- Faulty EGR valve

Check it and keep us updated.

Check engine light comes on,now is staying on.Code reads P0400.I have been told what the code means but need it narrowed down;I do have a leak in my gas tank on top.Should this be the problem.Just wanted...

the code p0400 is not a fuel leak but a lack of the fuel tank to hold a vaccum. it is possibly one of three things : abad cap :a bad evap solenoid : a bad canister dump valve. most of these would need to be check by a tech to determin which one.
the ets is usualy an abs problem with the lite on it should turn the abs off

MERCURY 2000 ODB2 CODES P0400, P00A0, P0401

P00A0 is a factory readable only code (i.e. only ford dealers have the computer to read it)
the P0400 is a generic E.G.R. flow restriction code. so yes a dvom (multimeter) and a vacuum pump to diagnose it correctly, also check for loose wires as ford harness connectors are known to fail alot due to crappy phenolic content in the plastic and heat combined they can warp and / or corrode the contacts
