Re: [T3] Vapor Lock?

<x-flowed>I hate to make wild guesses on stuff like this, but..
Maybe there is a potential for a temperature-dependent tendency for the head 
temp sensor (or something in that circuit) to open intermittently.  Do you 
have a spare to try? (Don't try this at home, kids, unless your regular 
tune-up items are all up to spec.)

But turn the key off and on a few times to build up pressure, and the system 
is full of fuel, with any air being forced out of the lines by the 30psi of 
pressure.  I don't think vapor lock is possible with the FI.
