hard start after fueling

Hey guys I have an 02 taco with 148k. The other day I got gas and the truck didnt want to start at the pump, finally with a little throttle it started and ran crappy for a minute, after that the truck ran fine until I got gas again. same thing happend. I also got a check engine light po171 at the same time.
I have tried taking off the fuel cap and it will start and run fine, its just when i refuel. thanks for the help

Are you topping off more than usual?

I'd stop topping off for starters IF the no start condition is truly linked to fueling up..

I changed the fuel filter, no difference. I dont think it is a clogged line, because the problem is only when I gas up, not really sure though. Im thinking when I fill the tank the gas it triggering some sesor an it is making the system lose its pressure, because when I turn the key I dont even get a spudder like there isnt even gas at the fuel rail. I appreciate the feedback, I really want to figure this out.

It ended up being the pwm vacuum switching valve. I changed it, no more check engine, and she likes the gas again
