My mechanic DID figure out what the issue was.
He replaced two purge Solenoids.
1. by the gas tank near the charcoal cannister
2. under the hood.

He suggested that it was likely due to overfilling of the tank at the pump.

The solenoid near the gas tank was not sold separately so he was able to find one at a scrap yard to avoid purchasing the entire tank assembly.

@mgarcialp - Such as THIS! The EVAP purge valve is preventing the engine from starting.

Thank you! I’ll pass it on to the mechanic. 🤞🤞
