Could be what is now called "heat soak". Over heated fuel.
If you would. Whenever you go to start your vehicle first turn it to on and wait for the dash lights to go out then start it. Let me know if it helps.

Yea sounds like heat soak. Happens after driving and its hot. Makes you engine miss for a lil bit. It can get pretty bad actually.
On my way back from FL I would open my hood at the gas station while filling my tank so it could cool faster and wouldnt miss as much. Worked pretty good actually.
