Issues starting car only after you pump in gas

I have been having issues with my 01 Honda civic lx 1.7l car. Everytime I pump gas and I try to start my car it starts but dies right away, I turn it off and try to start it again doesn't want to start it cranks the only way I get it started is if I crank it for a couple second and push the gas so the engine revs up I know u shouldn't do that because it could flood the motor but that's the only way my car would start. I can hear the fuel pump working, no gas smell so I don't know any suggestions?

Something wrong with the evap system. Are you continuing to pump gas after it clicks off?

Re: Issues starting car only after you pump in gas

Is the check engine light on? What codes does it have stored in the computer? (I'm lazy. I like to troubleshoot from the comfort of the drivers seat as much as possible before actually opening the hood)

If I have to risk getting dirty....The symptoms described make me want to test the purge control solenoid first, I'd suspect it had stuck open

I changed out the evap purge not the canister and the gas doesn't click

Did you use an OEM Honda part? In most cases, this matters for trouble-free operation.
