I cant see the cap making a lot of difference as I believe our tanks have a good breathing system
I would have thought it was more likely to be a electrical or injection problem as you have fuel running through the filter
what engine have you got as the V6 suffers from vacuum hose air leaks and it may be that

Not a bad idea to change the cap but frankly it sounds like a vacuum (air) leak. If you've a 3.0 then read up on PCV elbow and other air leak posts! Look at what Brutal's posted (you can find them via clicking on his name in any of his posts), too, as he's a mine of very useful info
