You may have an intermittent fuel vapor lock. Gas bubbles can form in the fuel if the gas line gets too hot. Perhaps it runs near some part of your exhaust system. This happened to me in a Volvo due to low fuel pressure in the line. Check all ignition wiring and components, including your engine's computer, then check the fuel supply system for hot spots. Vapor lock gets worse in warm weather. Volvo tried a replacement pump, then added an auxiliary pump, but the problem was tricky to solve
