rough idle/blue smoke/chk eng lite only after refueling

Hello everyone. I am currently driving a 1997 900 turbo with 64,000 miles. I love the car and have had no problems up until now. Up until recently everytime I refuel the tank the car starts up fine and then after a couple of miles the engines starts to run rough surges sputters and then dies. Blue smoke from the engine bay appears and from the exhaust pipe, while the car struggles to maintain its proper idle setting. Starting then occurs after a long crank session and keeping the car running can only occur if I keep the throttle up. From thereafter the throttle doesnt respond as well as it should, it hesitates and the check engine light will illuminate. Strange thing is though if you keep the RPMS above 2000 and drive it for about 5 minutes it settles down and runs fine. GIve about a day of driving and the check engine light will disappear. Until the next time I fill the tank . Does anyone have any insight upon this strange issue?
Thank You for any advice or help, Mike
