I had the same problem with my 2004. Was driving me nuts. My mechanic finally tested the fuel pump output pressure and it was 1/2 of the spec level. Insufficient fuel pressure could not overcome the vapor lock that naturally occurs in the fuel lines above the engine when the engine is turned off. Replacing the fuel pump solved the problem.
