The vehicle was stationary over 10 minute in the yard of club lions of guayanilla town of puerto rico country 00656 area code.
Every time I refill my tank with fuel, the first several minutes of driving the engine will hesitate and almost stall (or will stall if driving at slow speeds). While stopped in idle, engine will completely stall. Once some fuel is burned, the engine will no longer stall. This issue has been ongoing for years.
