74 1.8 ljet runs great at all speeds. If it sits in the sun and gets real hot, it cranks fine but won't always start right away. I've never moved my fuel pump from the oem location and don't really want to unless necessary. Does this sound like vapor lock??
Appreciate any advice, Mark |

If you drove your car and heated the engine up, then turned the motor off, the symptoms you describe could very well be vapor lock. The heat from the engine just sits below the sheet metal dividing the top and bottom of the engine, where it heats up the fuel pump and then- vapor lock. I had it on mine. Joe O.
