Default 2014 Cruze won't start after fueling

I have a 2014 Cruze that will not start after fueling. It does not matter whether I fill it or not. I have to pump the gas pedal to get it to start, and then keep the gas pedal depressed for about 2 minutes before it will stay running at idle. The check engine light is on, and the code shows lean condition in bank 1. The car has now started to stall at random times at stoplights. It starts using the same technique that I use after fueling. I have read every forum I can find to try to figure out what the problem is, and have found several different answers, including fuel injectors, fuel filter, vacuum leaks, and canister purge valve. I need to get the car inspected so I am wondering if anyone can point me in the most likely direction before I start just replacing random parts that I may not need.

Well was it cold outside? Check you battery and see if the voltage is above 12.2V with a multimeter. If that is good then the next thing to check would be fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, then fuel injectors. You can bang on fuel pump and if car starts when you do this then its your fuel pump most likely. If not then change your fuel filter (probably $10-$30). Next in line is regulator ($40-$80) not sure of any checks there except just replace. Your fuel injectors you can put them through a series of tests like in this video.... Hope this helps my man GL
