Won't start after gassing up...

[mellodt70]

I have a 2009 Genesis 4.6L with 175k mi. Recently, it has been giving me starting problems but only when I put gas in the car. The starter kicks in but the engine never turns over. I usually have to let it sit about 5-10 min. Then, after several attempts, it'll turn over and I don't have any starter issues until the next visit to the pump...stumped!

Have someone check/replace purge valve

Does this happen at other times when you stop for 5 minutes and restart without getting gas?

It sounds like a potential battery or charging system.

No. All other starts are flawless. Cold and warm. Day or night. It only happens at the gas station.

The dealer thinks it might be the charcoal filter?

Purge valve is likely the cause as stated earlier. And replacing the purge valve is usually easy and inexpensive.

Try stopping, remove the gas cap and don't put in gas. Put the cap back on and try to start the car.

Purge valve is likely.

The dealeeship agrees. Having it replaced this week.
