RE: Vapor Lock???
well, given the right circumstances, yes it can vapor lock. but chances are a fuel injected motor isnt going to do it.
mine does just the opposite of your cars. sputters until it gets warm, and then runs fine.

fuel injected engines can vapor lock if..........
you dont have enough excess fuel being pumped thru the fuel rails
to keep them cool enough to keep gas from boiling off before reaching injectors.
If the car is runnning hot and you have a weak fuel pump, then yes
you can vapor lock from time to time.
btw: mine does it too. fine for 5 mile drive, 30-40 miles and she'll start sputtering and stalling out,
let it cool down for 1-2 hours, runs fine again. It's a second car for me so I've just lived with it,
due to plans to replace everything soon anyway.
let me know if the new pump fixes it

thats because fuel injected engines dont vapor lock.
