Default got a question about the car not turning over after refilling the gas

I put 93 octain in the car and when i refill it at the pump it jut cranks for about a minute before it starts. Any reason why this is happening? I just changed a bad cam chain tensioner and havent filled it up again since. Any ideas? or maybe it was another affect of the bad cam chain tensioner.

Default Same problem here.. your carbon filter chould be plugged up..

Could also be bad fuel pump, that is effected by the introduction of a pressure change in the tank. Seems like a delay in fuel delivery. Next time you fill up, slowly pup the throttle while turning the ignition.. should start as soon as gas pressure builds up.

Let me know if you cure this problem.

Cheers,
Joel

I just replaced my coolant temp sensor, and now the car wont start at ll, it will only crank over and over. Any ideas why this is happening? I've got brand new coil packs, plugs, ICM, MAF sensor, ECT sensor, battery, etc, etc. I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Check for error codes, or maybe bad ignition switch

There are zero error codes. I have a Vag-Com, there is nothing. I'm pretty sure somewhere along the line I'm not getting spark, but I don't know what would cause this?
