Change the fuel filter. Its getting a steady pressure flowing thru it during your highway driving and when you slow down in town it takes it a little bit for the clogs in the filter to sort themselves into a pattern that moves fuel thru it again

If you agree that the answer I provided is correct please remember to "accept" and/or mark it as "helpful" so I know I'm doing a good job. Thank you, I would really appreciate it.
