So i want you all to know what part i got fixed that remove to engine light and codes. First the codes i was getting are: P2422 - Canister clogged, P2187 system too lean idle B1, and P2189 system too lean idle B2. Replacing the CCV Canister (which is located above the gas tank) cleared these codes and engine light is now out. However, I still have the problem of my car not starting after getting gas filled. Detail, when i remove the gas cap, fill up car (a little or a lot - doesn't matter), put gas cap back on - go to start car and it will NOT keep on. No trouble getting to start - trouble is it dies immediately. Takes many tries with reving after each start and try to throw it into drive before it dies. Once successful in this rev - slam into drive - i get slight chugging at very next stop sign/light but it doesn't die. Once on main road - it is like nothing is wrong at all. During all this - no engine light. Every time i start the car after this - all is fine. Only does it again when i fill up with gas. !!!!!!!! I called the dealer today to see if they know what is up with this - had to leave a message, so i don't know yet. Will update again.
