I will continue to be testing the car on short drives, hoping it doesn't start again. And for Better Daze, your cap issue was exactly what I had. Story to continue.again thanks for everyone help.

While I'm glad that your issues seem to be solved for now, you want to be wary of using aftermarket parts. They might initially be cheaper but they don't last as long which means you'll have to replace them more often. In the long run, that'll actually wind up costing you more money. In addition, after market parts weren't specifically designed for your car the way OEM parts are so they're not always compatible with your car. That lack of compatibility with your car may cause your car to have additional issues due to the parts incompatibility. Saving a few $$$ in the short term may not be so cost effective in the long term. Good job on the fuel cap diagnosis BetterDaze.
