Vapor-lock? or is this something else?
vapor lock symptoms are: engine cranks, won't fire.
no-crank is the (in)famour 914 'hot-start' problem. a search through the various archives for
'hot start' will turn up all the usual solutions, which always include cleaning all the grounds really well (especially the transmission ground strap) and (ultimately) replacing the starter and solenoid. there are a few intermediate things that sometimes work for a while, and there are some band-aids like adding a relay.
