Angry Every time i get gas!!

I have a 2000 Civic EX coupe and it seems like every time I get gas it doesn't want to start back up or if I get gas and then take it down the road then shut it off it want crank back up. So then I'll have to wait around a hour for it to crank back up. But tonight I got gas and I tried to crank it up at the gas station and it wouldn't so I waited 20 min and started it back up and it did but the check engine light came on this time and when I got home I cut it off then back on and the check engine light was off and my car was running fine. WTF???????????HELP!!

Pull the CEL code.

While it won't start, check for spark. Also listen for the fuel pump to prime when you turn the key on but don't try to start.

I think your issue is related to the fuel vapor cannister on the passenger side of the firewall.
