The next time you let it sit, turn the key to koeo and let the pump fully prime before you start it, see if that helps. A fuel filter is routine maintenance, if you haven't done it before, then it's way overdue. At 100k I would also suggest a tune up.

If you can get a fuel pressure gauge, you could hook it up to the Schrader valve and see what the fuel pressure is doing when this is happening.
