Hi all
went out for a good run today.
Weather was warm (about 21C (about 72F -ish))
Stopped by the side of the road for 5-10 mins.
Restarted and drove off, car stalled pretty much immediately.
Started again after cranking for about 5 seconds.
It did this again when I stopped for about 15 mins later in the day (this time temp was maybe only 65F)
This time it started ok, ran ok while I drove about 50 yards to the main road , then gave it a bit of gas to get going on main road and stalled again! .. again cranked for a few seconds and it started and was ok again after a slightly hesitant pull-away.
Is this the dreaded vapour lock?
runs fine apart from that.
Cheers!
