msimcoe is on a distinguished road
I too just started having this problem. Check engine light came on. After filling the tank I drive about 100-200 feet and then it shuts off and doesn't want to start for a minute or two and then starts and runs like nothing happened. I just drove from Atlanta to DC and in South Carolina where the roads are rough and it was very hot the car would burp and fart then shut off from time to time. Then when the roads smoothed out in North Carolina it happened maybe once or twice. then later when the sun started going down and the temperature dropped it did not happen at all. But, every time I got gas no matter the temperature it would start and run fine for 100-200 feet and then shut etc. and then run like nothing was wrong. Not sure what MPG I'm getting. Any ideas?

I’d start by looking for sediment in the tank.

What's the CEL code? I've seen similar behavior from a bad evap purge solenoid on other vehicles, but I'm not familiar with our evap system.

You could remove the vapor line from the EVAP and see if it stops. It should have a liquid check valve.

How full do you fill your tank?

The problem I'm having is every time I get gas and I go to start it and it won't start unless I push the pedal to the floor. Each time I fill up I am getting 14-15 mpg 95% hwy. and to clarify fill up I mean when the pump stops on the first click.

I bought this tr4 two months ago and it has been the issue since I bought, I should also mention I am getting the good ol po440, po441, po446 codes but when I search them nobody else seems to have an issue like mine. I'm hoping I don't need to replace the charcoal canister, I am looking for things to trouble shoot first and not throw parts at it. Thanks in advance

New to the forum but used this thread to find a solution. I had the exact problem with my 3rd gen of having trouble starting ONLY after refueling. I replaced the evap canister and the canister purge solenoid and the problem went away. I also noticed an improvement in the gas milage not a CRAZY difference but it is noticeable.

What's the Solution?
My 2002 is doing the exact same thing. When I fill up, it will stall when I put it in gear. After I get it going on the road, it runs fine. I only have this issue at the pump and I do not overfill the tank (just first click). I have taken the cap off and back on to see if I can recreate it and its like noting ever happened. I ran a DTC scan and it threw P0440 EVAP and a P0420. I cleared the codes and installed a new gas cap and the CEL has not come back on but I am still having this issue when I get gas. Has anyone found the solution?

it could be the VSV for EVAP under the hood. it's a vacuum solenoid that opens/closes to let fuel vapors from the charcoal canister go to the intake. if it gets stuck open, fuel vapors flood the intake while you fill up, causing the hard start. you can take it off and blow through it to see if it's stuck open
