Icon8 Sucking noise from fuel cap....

So recently ive been having problems with my truck..

The truck has a rough idle but when i press the gas and drive it, it drives well.
At idle i can hear a SUCKING noise coming from my gas cap, like every 5-6 seconds it will make this sucking noise. My guess was fuel pump? I take the cap off and the sucking noise goes away... Im stumped :( HEELLLPPP please

sounds like the gas cap is not sealed all the way and that sucking noise is air being leaked/sucked in?

If I remember right, you can even get a locking gas cap for under $10.

Canister purge valve is stuck open.
Locate the charcoal canister under the hood (drivers side of engine)
Follow the hose from the canister toward the engine , there will be a valve solenoid and then an inline switch.
Remove the solenoid and try to blow through it.If you can , then tap the bottom of it against a block of wood.If you can still blow through it then replace it.
