About 3-4 weeks ago, I stopped for gas, and when I went to restart my car, it wouldn't turn over. It took 3 tries, and finally did start, and ran fine...until the next time i got gas. Same thing happened. As soon as it starts and I drive away, no problem...until i get gas again. Tonight, I stopped, the same thing happened, but once it turned over, it immediately died. It did this 3 times, before I finally was able to drive away. Originally we thought it was a battery problem, but I bought a new battery, and it didn't stop. This only happens when i get gas. Please help. :/

It sounds like you have a faulty purge control valve. Replace it and post your results. I think you will be satisfied.
