thanks for the link. i'm aware of the issues for the code, but wondering why the car only stumbles to start after putting in fuel.

What is your usual engine temperature when this start-problem occurs....hot, cold, lukewarm, or in all temperature ranges? (warm or hot being defined as at or above 140 degrees, which is usually the lower-end of the normal-range on the temperature gauge or at the point where the blue cold-temperature light goes out).
