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...

Yeah, vapor lock. In July of '73 I took my brand new 1.7 on a road trip from SoCal to Colorado, after the recommended 600 mi. break-in and oil change. Had the same symptoms: loss of power, non-start, wait for cool down then starts and runs normal. Happened about four times. When I took it back to the dealer they just nodded their heads and said, "we'll take care of it." Moved the pump up front and never had the problem again.
