I'm keen to know also as next weekend I'm going to start investigating further. It's done it every start this weekend, although slightly compared to when I fill up, and at one stage check engine came up briefly then went away. So it's getting worse whatever the issue is.

Update. It now splutter starts when the cars been sitting in the sun for the day when I'm at work. I'm thinking something to do with air expansion in the fuel tank forcing fuel into the inlet???
Apart from the odd spluttering starts it runs fine without any Check engine light. Im keen to fix this myself but have no idea where to start. So if anyones got info on what that solenoid looks like let me know. :)

It's the purge solenoid for sure.

The purge solenoid is on the passenger side sitting just next to the intake manifold, it might make a ticking noise every so often, you'll notice a hose leading under the manifold towards the throttle body, trace it from the throttle body, under the manifold and back to the solenoid, sorry for the shitty description. Long day.
