I have a 2003 Saturn Vue, 4 cylinder, auto transmission. For the last two years when ever I fill up with gasoline (doesn’t matter if I get a gallon or 10 gallons), when I start the car after getting the gas it immediately stalls. When I attempt to restart it, it takes about 10 seconds before it will catch and start. It does not stall or not start at any other time. I have taken it in to be checked, the computer shows them a few code errors but they can not find the problem to match it. Any ideas?

What are the codes should be in a form of P1234. Once you get the codes then get back to us

Sounds like it could be a fuel pump problem. Some reason putting gas in the tank is stopping it from running temporarily.

Alternately, it could be that the OP has a problem with the evaporative vent system and it is flooding the engine is gasoline vapors.
