I hope you get lots of answers to your problem.  We have the same
vehicle with the same problem.  Ours starts, occasionally stalls and
won't restart, sometimes for twenty minutes or more (and we smell
gasoline when we try), but more often it simply won't restart once we
stop for any reason.  This usually happens after it's been running a
while, but sometimes happens after just a mile or two.  I have been
searching the list for weeks to see if someone has information.
Mechanics have checked it numerous times, but, of course, it won't
misbehave for them!  We have had the oxygen sensor checked and done all
the obvious things.  Sometimes it runs for weeks without a problem.  Any

help from anyone would be so appreciated.
