Not sure if it applies, but perhaps check that your EVAP purge solenoid is not stuck open. If it is stuck in the open position, it can flood your engine after you've filled gas. Pressing the gas pedal down and trying to start the car puts most fuel injected cars into a "clear flood" mode that limits fuel delivery until the car starts.

Again, not sure if it applies, but it's a cheap part that can be changed pretty easily if that's what it is.

Good luck!
