Hard Start After Fill Up

My 996 is acting up. Everytime I add fuel it's hard to start. Have to flood & floor it to get it to start up. Then, it stalls a few times - at the stop sign when I am leaving the gas station. Then, again sometimes at the next stop sign or light. If I drive 1/2 mi or more the car starts acting normally. I replaced the fuel pressure sensor 2 fillups ago and there has been no improvement. Did not do this for 4.5 yrs - now it always happens. Anyone had this problem? What's the fix? Thanks!

Fuel pressure sensor? Or fuel pressure regulator?

What about looking into the fuel emissions equipment, such as charcoal canister filter and such?

Understand your thought process. Trying not to randomly replace a few things and see if that works. But, might have to if no one has dealt with this and fixed it. Thanks!
