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. |

One of the very few things that he wrote that I disagree with. Vapor lock is real. It happened on a regular basis on my 1955 Chevy. A wooden clothes pin on the fuel line solved the problem. It's real on the 914 too. My 1.7 would just die till it cooled down a bit. I was afraid to drive when it was over 95°, and that's a lot around here. Carried a water gun to squirt the pump and cool it down. I moved the pump to the front trunk and it never happened again in 30 years.
