    Gas Cap/Tank

    hey guys, the other day i filled up my rolla. After getting home and letting my car cool for 2 hours, i decided to release my gas cap, and i heard alot of the pressure inside the gas tank escape more than usual, then i got worried and started up the car for bout 10 seconds and shut it and i didnt worry bout it much, but the next day as i went to start my car, the car shaked alot right when i start it as if the rpm was studdering to rev higher to warm the car, and after about 10 seconds, it went back to the normal warming rpm(1.5k) and the shaking stopped. So far its been fine starting the car everday, but what was the reason for that? is it because the gas tank's pressure was wrong since i released the cap at FULL tank of gas when its cold? Normally, when we go pump gas, the car starts fine, but was it because i left the car to cool and then release the cap that it made the problem or was it because there too much gas sitting in the engine left unburned since i started it for 10 seconds and shut it right away.

    p.s damnit i hope im making sense, sorry for the long post
