Removing Rain Tray in the Summer ? Options

[cary]

How many folks remove their rain tray in the summer ?

Car didn't want to restart even after sitting 90 minutes at 100 degrees. Did the SOP full throttle crank, but not for 60 seconds like some folks attempt. I was just wondering how much better air flow I would get without the rain tray. After 90 minutes the rubber fuel lines were 150 degrees. The FI rails were still 170. That's bitchn hot after 90 minutes.

Car ran great for the 32 miles to Forest Grove. Got there and checked the dipstick oil temp gauge, 232 degrees. Outside temp 98 degrees. Tinkered with the idle a bit, was running fine. I wish I'd measured the temp on the lines and rails. Shut it down. I went inside to move things around so I could get it out of the hot sun. Came back out about 15 minutes later to drive it in. No Go ...............

Looks like its time to work on my own car. Full tune up and hook up the AFR meter.
I know I'd get scolded by the Cap'n to call it vapor lock. But it doesn't like 90 degrees plus. Temps drop 20 degrees tomorrow so I can't replicate for a while. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
