was the gas cap on with 3 clicks or more? Did you remove it and start from zero?
Tightening it may help if it was not tight-but how would you know if you dont remove it first
the TL is hyper sensitive to having a sealed pressure fuel system.

Message box ! lol

go to a parts store and ask them to plug into the code reader port and check with a real scanner tool for codes- its free
report back with those~
