When trying to put fuel in my gas tank, the gas.

When trying to put fuel in my gas tank, the gas pump keeps shutting off as if the pump senses a full tank. I literally can not add more than.50 cents in gas without the pump shutting off. This happens at multiple gas stations so it is not a faulty pump at a gas station. This problem began simultaneously with the check engine light coming on. The car also sputters when idling. Do you have any idea what might be causing this problem or what might be bad.
