My money would be on the purge valve on top of the intake. This valve is scheduled to open when the engine is running under certain conditions to suck the vapors from the canister to the intake and then eventually burn them. I believe the hard starting condition occurs when the valve sticks open and vapors get pushed into the intake from the canister while fueling. Once the intake is full of this fuel vapor mixture the engine doesn't want to start as the mixture is all messed up.
