Last sunday I drove my car to church/work it was about 100 degrees as I was driving on the fwy it started to lose power (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) , I pulled over and sure enough it would not start. It felt like vapor lock...
Could this happen while I'm driving???? after a bit it fired right up. |

Ok Jamie ..... the air temp may have been 100+, but what do you think the temp was coming out of the heater flappers and blowing on the fuel pump? Yes, it will "vapor lock" while driving, especially at low speeds .... in other words, the fuel boils and fuel pumps don't pump air/bubbles very well. After things cool down the fuel returns to it's liquid state and it works again.
I have vapor locked so many times I just expect it in hot weather. Yeah, I'm to lazy to move the pump up front. |
