So every time I go get gas the car has a hard time starting and I have to try starting the car multiple times then eventually it starts.
Any other time I try starting the car when I am not getting gas it starts up fine.
I looked up what the issue is and I get evap canister vent valve/purge valve/solenoid? How many of these things are there?
I tried looking in the front around the engine bay and I don't see the vent valve/purge valve/solenoid.
There seems to be one for the front of the car in the engine bay and one in the rear next to the charcoal canister.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I would start off with replacing the fuel filler cap first. Is your EVAP canister leaking?
Yeah fuel filler cap is on my list of things to get. I haven't checked the EVAP canister for leaks yet but will do.
Thank you.
