Auto choke is sticking, If you do lots of short runs this happens. Your local car accessory shop will get you a spray to use.

If you use "fuel vapor lock" in the search button, you will get references discussing adding a fuel return line to the fuel tank and/or adding a fuel pump assist. One of these may cure your problem.

Per Wikipedia: Vapor lock is a problem that mostly affects gasoline-fueled internal combustion engines.

It occurs when the liquid fuel changes state from liquid to gas while still in the fuel delivery system. This disrupts the operation of the fuel pump, causing loss of feed pressure to the carburetor or fuel injection system, resulting in transient loss of power or complete stalling. Restarting the engine from this state may be difficult.

The fuel can vaporize due to being heated by the engine, by the local climate or due to a lower boiling point at high altitude. In regions where higher volatility fuels are used during the winter to improve the starting of the engine, the use of "winter" fuels during the summer can cause vapor lock to occur more readily. Is it a recent problem? Do you live in an area that uses gasoline from the high volatility "fracking" crude?

I hope this helps, . . Dit

It almost sounds as though you are experiencing vapor lock. Have your vehicle checked for fuel pressure ratings and see if they meet OE specs

Car don't vapor lock any more. Check fuel pressure.

it can be the bcm. body control module. it is located under the dash right next to the steering coluum

Hello topromeo.

In modern vehicles there is a system in place to capture and burn the vapors when filling the fuel tank. This consists of a carbon canister, hoses and valves.
The vapors when filling the tank are routed through the carbon canister and stored there until the car is driven.

Under certain conditions these valves need to close to test the system integrity.
In your case there is a valve that has stuck closed and not allowing vapors to vent through.

This is called a canister vent valve and is located under the car on the carbon canister.
It should be available at your local Buick dealer.

If you require further advise on this subject please ask me here.

Thank you for using FixYa.

This indicates a fuel vapor leak in the EVAP control system. It means a very small leak has been detected. In fact, the leak can be from a hole as small as 0.04" in diameter. The (EVAP) emission control system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from a vehicle's fuel system. Fuel vapors are routed by hoses to a charcoal canister for storage. Later, when the engine is running a purge control valve opens allowing intake vacuum to siphon the fuel vapors into the engine
