Went to fill up & on undoing fuel cap it hissed & allowed air in, is this normal should the cap have a breather or is there 1 elsewhere?

They do have a breather that vents back into the filler neck
Mine does it too, don't think it's a problem

yeah all my rx7s do that & apparently theres a breather pipe from the filler neck that goes to a charcoal canister !
