Default Help! Car Dies upon Re-Fueling

I am looking for advice, does anybody know what could be wrong with my car?
My car is a 92 Civic CX (D15B7)
My car is currently running fine, starts no problems, idle is fine, but when I fill up my gas tank at the gas station, my car has problems starting. It will start and die all of a sudden. After trying a few times, it starts as normal, this usually takes 3-4 tries until my car is running again. Has anybody had this experience?

When I had this problem it wasent during re-fueling but it would start and die right away. Is your check engine light on? I had to end of changing my MAP sensor. and after that it ran fine. MAP sensor is located on your throttle body and takes about 5 min to replace. Cost me 85$ though. Hope this helps.

The only thing I can think of is if the strainer on the fuel pump is full of crap and somehow the filling of the tank is making the pump pull differently....? I would also try putting on a new fuel filter if you haven't already. Warm gas mixing with the cold gas from in the ground can do some weird things sometimes...besides the filter is pretty cheap..

does it only do it after fueling, or will it do it if you drive for a while, cut it off, and wait a few min., then try to crank, if it does it may be the main relay, next time it does it bang on the lower left side of the dash, if it starts, main relay!!

my buddies car was doing this and sometimes while driving. he took it to the dealer because it was a brand new car and they told him it was because of the gas he was putting.

lol. not sure if this is true but worth mentioning.
