What is your question?
When my truck warms up I can shut it off and let it sit for about 15-25 minutes; then it will start, idle and run fine for about 2 minutes and then it will start misfiring again. Why does this happen? Also I can take my gas cap off without any check engine light coming on.
I think it could be the evap system because it seems like the fuel vapors build up or something allowing the fuel/air ratio to be higher at startup. I'm not quite sure but maybe the evap canister vent solenoid is bad without throwing a code.
Can someone please help me out with this? Thanks.

Is it Flex Fuel? Had some flex fuel sensor problems, same symptoms! Check intake manifold for vacuum leaks!!! Warm up intake seal, cool down intake leak.
No flex, just gas. Do gaskets swell when hot and then with engine off under no pressure it would seal the leak? It has no leak or misfire for a little bit after restart.
