Altitude issue for not wanting to start? It did it in eastern Idaho/Utah and Wyoming...not sure how much elevation change there is there but there is some.

But the CEL issue has been since before I made the drive. I just put a new cap on today, I'll see if the light goes away.

I'm in Colorado Springs, just over 6000 feet. Came from Mountain Home, ID at 3100 feet. Stopped once somewhere in eastern Idaho, then somewhere in the middle of Wyoming, and again in Denver. It would only do it after 2+ hours of straight driving. I'll find out if it's the elevation or not when I continue on to North Carolina next week.

EVAP purge system. On my car the problem was with the one way vacuum valve attached to the purge valve. The plastic valve had rubbed against a metal clip and had worn through. Fixed that and my starting issues after fueling went away.
