Does it run/start perfectly when you start it except for when you refueled?

Can you get the check engine code scanned and post the code?

I wonder if your gas cap isn't sealing properly... Are you making sure you put it on tightly? Can you smell gas at all when it's closed?

Do you have the same problem then if you just take the fuel cap off when it's stood and simply put it back on then try and start?
