Air in fuel tank. Hard to fill with fuel.

Chevrolet Malibu 2009 4door 12000 miles
Air in tank. Have to trickle the fuel in. Just happened. Vehicle 2009 Malibu. Never done that before. Could it be charcoal cannisters, blocked vent tube, gas cap ,bad valve or something else.

My Malibu trembles and stalls when removing the tank plug

Chevrolet Malibu 2008  146000 miles
My Malibu stalls every time I go to fill the fuel tank and the tank plug is removed. It is then really hard to start the engine for the first time, any ideas?

I have the same problem with my Malibu lt v6 2008 and have no idea whatsoever what the cause can be. I have been told that it is not creating a vacuum. If you find the solution please tell me.

I solved the problem by changing the purge valve, which is located in the engine behind the intake manifold

Buddy which was the error code that appeared in your vehicle? How much is the purge valve?
