Sounds like the fuel pump is goin' out. Check your fuel pressure at the fuel rail. It should be around 50 psi all the time (hot or cold). Try cycling the ignition on n wait a few seconds before you try to start to give the fuel pump a chance to prime before you start. BUT WAIT!!! Try removing the gas cap n see if it fixes the problem. Also, check the EGR valve on the engine, it could've melted down..either way,you may now have a vacuum problem. Does it take a long time to fill your gas tank?
