come to think of it i did get her pretty full yesterday and it cooled down alot overnite here in the desert and she more than likely pulled a vacuum.. it fires right up now after i vented the fuel line when i disconnected it. if it happens again first thing i'll be sure to check is the gas cap thanks a bunch guys for all your help!

check the tank fitting. look at the groove in the black part check for wear . It may require a mirror but check the ***** in the chrome part for wear also. The fitting could have dropped enuff to stop the flow of fuel from one side to the other and your taking it apart and putting it back together could have been a temporary fix till it finds the wear spot again

well finally got a chance to check all of the previously said items. thanks to all it turns out to just be something that was in the vent line under the console. she was clogged up also checked the fitting like n8dc said it looked ok as far as i could tell. thanks to all you that answered so quickly. thanks again saved me from going to the dealer just went out of warranty and didnt want to have to pay for it.
