The car started running much better but then this problem appeared.
Someone told me about a valve that prevents fuel from leaking down towards the gas tank when the car is not running. If the valve goes bad, this exact problem would happen because the fuel pump needs a few seconds to pump fuel all the way to the injection system. However, I am not sure if my car even has such a system in place. Any ideas?
The engine is 103.942.

It does have one but that normally affects warm restarting, such as when the car has been sitting for less than 30-45 minutes. Once you turn the key to the on position the fuel pump, or pumps, prime.
