After filling the gas tank and trying to start it, the engine will stall at least 3 times before it will clear. This only happens at refueling. No probloms between fill ups.

Thanks

Hi btho6591,

This is quite common with Hyundai vehicles and the likely cause is a problem with the EVAP system.

If the Check Engine Light is indicating, get a scan done and let me know the EXACT trouble code.
