    When did you last change the fuel filter? Maybe a dodgy fuel pump? Are the injectors working well?

    When you fill up do you stop at the first click?
    Because if you cram as much petrol as you can in you can flood your vapour emission hoses which can end up in you throttlebody and flood your engine
