I took the teener out for a drive yesterday in the 90 degree weather here in sunny Seattle. We made a stop (car turned off) at Starbucks, the car was at full temperature, and when I came out to start it again it wouldn't run and sounded like it was only trying to run with maybe two cylinders. I gave it gas and it just died. I pulled all of the plugs thinking that one or two was fouled, but they were all fine.
After the car sat for about an hour, it started and all was okay again. I got it home (ran perfect), turned it off and waited a few minute, and it was in the same terrible running condition. I just verified the problem again today, so at least it is consistent. Any ideas? Thanks. kevine 74 2.0, stock FI |

sounds like vapor lock ...
the fuel in the fuel pump and lines boils and the pump tries to pump vapors instead of a fluid ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |
