Default Can't start my engine after refuel

Everytime Aftrr refuel, I can't start my car.

I have a Mazda 6 2005 trim i sedan 4 doors with 2.3 engine..

I thought its the fuel pump but seems like its not the case.

I can't start it only for the first time after refuel, the solution is that I have to press the gas pedal for a long Time, then I'm able to continue normal drive.

I thought its my fuel pump that cant build up pressure, but i tried opening the fuel cap just to verify..car started with no issues.

I have no idea what the problem is

Could be a leaking injector.

Purge valve stuck open, vapors fill the intake while fueling causing a "flooded" condition. Holding throttle to the floor while cranking, clear flood mode, will allow it to start quicker.
