Hi,

It happens to me after filling the car with fuel to find it difficult to start the engine and the engine does not respond to operation until after pressing the accelerator several times with vibrations in the engine, and this happens only when filling the fuel and not after that.

Note: I'm filled with gasoline 95.

Thanks

Hi,

When you fill the tank, do you stop pumping fuel once it clicks off or do you top it off? If you continue to top it off, there is a chance fuel is making its way through the evaporative emissions system to the engine.

Let me know. Also, let me know if the check engine light is presently staying on when the engine is running.

Take care,

Joe
