Default Filling up gas.

Just recently every time I go to the gas station after I put gas in the car and start it again the car bogs. The RPM's will drop to like 200-300 and the car barely stays on. Thefirst time it happend I wasn't expecting it and the car actually turned off. Now When I get gas I just tap the gas pedal to shoot the rpms up and then the car idles correctly. Its a b16a swap in a 2000 hatch with stock fuel work. Any ideas?

You only gave it 1/2-hour, what do you expect?

Does it only happen after opening/closing the fuel tank?
Or does it happen anytime you try to restart the car when it is warm?

There isn't much to go with here...

Sounds like it's either pump related, or pressure related.

I have had the same problem. Try unplugging your TPS sensor and see if it does it anymore. I unplugged my and it stopped. Then i replaced it 3 times and problem persists. Dont know after that. I just keep mine unplugged and it runs great but i have my check engine light on.

Sorry man just a little antzie...anyway
yes only after I open and close the tank but i never tried it without
putting in the gas. I'll try opening it then closing it and see what happens. The fuel pump is like a year old and i bought it brand new.
