This sounds fuel related, such as fuel pressure. Unless on of the other moderators has another idea and there very easily could be, I would try to get a fuel pressure check, especially when you seem to know that it will give you problems starting.

I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT BECAUSE BASE ON MY OBSERVATION WHEN MY FUEL GETTING LOW 1/4 OF THE METER GAUGE, THIS PROBLEM MIGHT HAPPEN. IS IT STILL THE FUEL PRESSURE PROBLEM?

Fuel in the tank puts pressure down the line but as the fuel lowers that pressure is so greatly reduced and given a weak pump or other component on the line, ie filter, regulator, the car will no get the fuel it requires.

Got a same problem again bruce my car runs ok, ill bring my wife to her work then went to gas station to refuel after refueling my car runs smooth then engine stop while im driving. Now its hard to restart it again just like what I told before. After 45 min ill try to restart my car now its working well again. He he Im going mad of it. If I have time I will go to garage then tell them to sort out the fuel pressure and change the fuel filter. Is it right? Thanks very much.

Again it could be fuel pressure but it can be a sensor that is failing. No codes come up on the check engine light. You want to be diagnosing the vehicle for spark and fuel during the times that it will not start.

If the car is not starting. Crank it over several times, oh say 10 -15 seconds and then pull out a spark plug. Pull it out immediately and look at the tip of the plug. Is it wet? Do you smell gas? If so, lets move to the spark. It has to be a blue spark on the plug tip. No spark, the coil is bad. Spark and no start, I would venture a guess at a TDC/crankshaft sensor. But usually the sensor would kick on the cel on the dash. Does the light work?
