[T3] Vapor Lock?


Thanks for the replies, here's more info:

I get the first 2 clicks when I turn the key on. One click and the next 1.5
secs later. Turn the key, and then I'll get a tiny amount kickover (that
'little fire or 2" as Keith put it, but the engine stalls. On a second try,
nothing. This is the usual thing.

The 180ohm reading I got was indeed for the HEAD temp sensor. I know, cold
its supposed to be 2500, and when I checked this I had the ohmmeter
connected to the wire that leads to the HEAD temp sensor and to ground.

I have been in the practice of turn the key on and off a few times to build
fuel pressure before initial startup. If I do this and get a couple tiny
fires and then the engine stalls, it makes no difference if I do it again
after the engine has stalled.

It happened AGAIN tonight (that's 3 times in 24 hours), and this after I had
let the car rest at least an hour.
