While driving the other day the engine just cut out and died.
After a few minutes (5-10) she started back up for about a mile and did it again. Once again after several minutes I made back to work. I replace the in-line fuel filter at work and let her rest.
I got home w/ no problem. The next day almost made it to work and it all happened again.
When the engine is cold it runs for quite a while 15-20 min. till warmed up. Once warm it shuts off- no studdering or warning.
After it cools 5-10 min it will start again and run a mile or two and do it again.
I also replace fuel filter sock in tank as well.
Every time I turn the key I can hear the fuel pump prime and pump and I have checked the fuel pressure release after cranking even when she won't start and it has pressure and fuel. When I leave the hood up it stays cool enough and keeps running.
I have done no modifications and this started out of the blue?
I have a new fuel pump to put in (OEM) but this one seems to be working fine. It almost sounds like vapor lock but I can't think of anything that would be causing it.
It seems to be engine heat related.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike
