Chevrolet Traverse hard start after fueling and check engine light on, purge valve replaced on Chevrolet Traverse

Some Chevrolet Traverse owners report experiencing hard start issues after refueling, often accompanied by the check engine light being on, which may be related to a failed purge valve system. These owners have found that replacing the solenoid purge valve on the engine can often resolve the problem. Additionally, some have noted that topping off the fuel tank can damage the vapor canister, leading to further issues with the purge valve system. If the check engine light activates, it is advisable for owners to have the vehicle's diagnostic codes read to identify the exact issue. While some owners have temporarily alleviated hard start issues by holding the throttle wide open during ignition, this is only a short-term fix until the purge valve is replaced.
