My 00 was having this problem.

everytime I went to fill the tank it would stall and be a pain in the ass to start.
Sometimes it would start after a few min of pumping the pedal.Sometime would have to let it sit for an hour before it would start.However after it starts;it runs and starts fine till the next fill up

Last week I found the problem
My mechanic said one of the 15 or so valves was stuck in the open position.
This casue fuel to be dumped directly on the engine,hence the reason i would not start right off.

I searched the web and could not find anyone talking about the problem so I post this in case the problem happens to some other poor soul.
