Maybe a bad fuel filter or fuel pump?

fuel pump...turn your key on your ignition to the 1st turn. then you wait to hear the fuel pump "humm" if your fuel pump is not humming then most likely thats where your problem is. i know cus this had happend to me before....recently.

The fuel pump hums and it starts fine all the time except when I get gas.....even if I take the gas cap off and put it back on it works.....only when I put new gas in the tank is when I have this problem......

that happend on my old old 626 and i think it is because when you open the fuel cap all the pressure is lost and if your fuel system isn't working good than it may have trouble building enough pressure to inject into the cylinders. I would say check the pump.

my car i would have to let sit for 10 min then it started, i don't know why and never fixed it but you should check the fuel system it sounds like it is related to that.
