problems starting after refueling 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be ksg on  Thu Mar 16 11:02 CST 2006 [RELATED]

I had trouble starting a previous car when the tank was low due to debris in the bottom of the tank. This car often idled and ran erratically, especially on up/down grades (always worse with a low level in the tank). Cured completely by replacing the tank and inlet strainer. Once started does your car run as it should?

Trouble starting on a hot day without other symptoms might be due to leaking fuel injectors. It would be hard to reason how this symptom by itself would have anything to do with how much fuel was in the tank.

Maybe there is more than one problem?

I wouldn't expect problems like the above to set the check engine light, but the evaporative system could set it - is yours on?
