I have stated my question in a way to get the most responses/help/ideas possible.
when the weather is warm to hot and I have driven it for 4 miles or so, It really wants to die. and then if i drive it any longer it will die in the hot weather. THEN after just waiting until (it seems like cools off - because engine if not running it will start right back up and go.) in the hot weather. I know others have experienced something like this BUT I have never seen any answers that come close to my situation. thanks for your help. 914 luva |

Vapor lock, as I understand it, is when the fuel lines/pump get hot enough from engine and/or environmental heat that the liquid fuel starts losing its liquid properties resulting in the fuel pump unable to push it through the system. Or sumpin' like that. The "fix" in many cases was relocating the fuel pump from the engine bay so it wouldn't get all that engine heat.
You really need to tell us if it's carbs or FI you're dealing with here. Edit: sorry, I see you say it's all original, so I'm going to assume FI. |
