After filling up my gas tank, my 1999 buick century starts but wont move when I press the accelerator. AFter waiting a few minutes, it runs fine. This has happened the last 3 times I filled up. The check engine light was on the first time and I had a new PCV valve replaced. Now it's doing it again.
