My car sometimes does this where it feels really sluggish (due to dirty MAF sensors per the obd II scanner). You don't have to wait 10 minutes, but rather, turn the car off, open the driver-side door, and the start back up.

That or just clear the codes with the scanner.

Really? Not being a smart@$$, but the gas cap doesn't take much before it's tightened. My gas cap barely turns 25 degrees before getting the tight click.
