Default when i put gas in my car it idles bad and dies

i have a 2000 honda civic si and when i put gas in it it idles bad and it dies. i have to rev it up to keep it running. i changed the fuel filter to see if that was the problem but it still does it. i dont know what else could be the problem. if you could email me it would be great thanks.

my civic use to do it and i had a faulty fuel pump. it wasn't priming. if you turn your key to the on position does the fuel pump prime? all the time?
