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 |

In the seventies, my 73 1.7 would die while driving and I would have till wait till it cooled off. An "old man" told me it might be vapor lock and to get a squirt bottle of water and spray the pump the next time it quit. Sprayed it and bingo! Started and ran. Then a dealership mechanic told me they moved it to the front in later models. I moved it to the front and the problem never surfaced again. Vapor lock is for real.
