Mazda3 Trouble starting after filling up

Maintenance/Repairs

This would be in recall one of the previous discussions which is closed right now.

I have a 07 Mazda3 with 120k miles. I had a staring problem first time in gas station like 2 weeks ago and since then only anytime that I go to gas station. After car leave the gas station every thing is normal.
Since then the check light popped on too. I have diagnosed it, it gave me two errors P0177 and P0446.
I have check the gas cap, it is sturdy. Even I replaced the cap and have reset the check light. But it came back on still same errors.

Was wondering, what would be your advise to this?

Hey guys,

Actually I have check the error codes and it seems the codes are P0171 and P0446.

Does anybody have an advise or same issue?

Reviving for other owners with this problem. I had the same thing happen, and as the codes suggest, its a stuck evap purge valve. This will cause a vacuum leak, therefore a lean condition, especially after the gas cap is removed. This can affect idling as well.
