hi this may sound odd to you but worth looking into ?? from what you have described may i suggest that your problem may be the fuel tank is becoming vacuumed due to possible tank breather being either blocked or kinked ? this will allow car to start ok and run for some distance whilst the engine is using fuel drawn from the tank via fuel pump ok? then as fuel is used it is not being replaced by atmosphere air in tank ? resulting in vacuum so engine is starved of fuel as pump cannot overcome vac and fuel delivery to engine slows ? but when you stop the vac will slowly clear and all is ok till next time ? try this temporary leave tank filler cap loose an road test if no prob's then check the breather pipe normally clipped alongside filler pipe? under wheel arch ? where all rain/mud etc will come into contact? hope this helps ?

Try cleaning the IAC idle control valve. Buy a can of brake cleaner or carburater cleaner and with the car running at 1200 rpms spray right into the fuel system area where you take off the duct work for the air cleaner.The idle control valve can be removed also and the 2 holes on the under side of the valve cleaned. They get dirty and cause rough idling or no idling.
If not, have your car scanned for a code to check if it is the IPS (idle position sensor.)
For the gas filling problem , do not stick the whole nozzle in. Just enough to where you can pour the gas without the nozzle clicking off.

right renew the glow plug timer/relay if you put a meter on the glow plugs when cold and turn ign on (with help) it should supply power for a about 20 secs ,time depends on outside air temperature ,if all else fails then do a colin --- use a push button switch,wired to a relay so glow plugs can be operated by pushing the switch which you will mount on the dash ,cant beat a manual overide system
