The last 4 years has seen nothing but prefection from my 2004 Automatic. no hard starts, misfires, hicccups, mystery no starts. Nothing

Friday, I filled the tank and went for a 20 mile drive where I shut the car off while my wife shopped. 15 minutes later I started it back up, only to have it sputter and misfire for maybe 30 seconds………..Slightly tapping the gas to urge it on when it seemed it might stall out.

then, on its own, it resumed its perfect behavior and came home with no problems (where it was cold and snowy so I didn't pop the hood). I have since driven it maybe twice more around town with no problems

my guess ……… a fuel problem.

anyone venture something else ?
