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.

when i installed the new SS lines i wrapped the lines(firewall back) and the pump in a heat blanket kinda stuff ,like header wrap but shinny on one side and its like a blanket..i just cut it and used stainless wire to secure it,,seems to work good and if i get a gas leak it cant spray on the hot headers ...good luck
