Runs poorly cold and stalls when filled up with gas-help me! 850

I couldn't find anything on this in the FAQ's or search engine. Here's my dealeo w/ my '96 850 turbo:

If I don't let the motor warm up, the car will sputter and sometimes stall, especially under low throttle, like 1/4-1/2.
It's the WORST when I fill up the gas tank. It will lope, rev up then down, then up then STALL! This happens EVERY time I fill up, whether it's a full tank top off, or just a few gallons (I've tried both to figure it out).

One day I filled up, it was stalling, so at the gas station, I put in a new fuel pump relay in it, and it didn't help at all.
I'm at my nerve's end, and I need to fill up tonight..Ha.

I was going to replace the fuel filter next, hoping it helps.

Let me know what you know. Thx in advance!

Joe

    Fill the car up to the point where the nozzle clicks off and go no further. When I have tried to top it off to the next round price on the pump my car was very unhappy as well. I think it floods the evap cannister but I'm not sure. All I know is don't try to top it off.

    My 2ยข,

    Could be be something to do with the evap system connected to the tanks vent!

      Oh my gosh--last year I couldn't pass my emissions because of the EVAP system. The emissions guy did something that made it pass...not sure what.
      Does anyone know anything about the EVAP system? Anyone had a similar problem?

      Thanks!
      Joe
