Hi, This problem seems to happen only when we go to Idaho in summer - each year I go through the temperature sensor, fuel filter, etc - in a panic and the van works fine in Seattle. It's a bit of a joke that it takes three times to start on a hot day - but it's not a joke when you can't get it to start at all. Today I went through the air filter, fuel filter, checked all the lines, and then found something online about a recall due to vapor lock. One mechanic told me to install a second fuel filter. We have taken off the gas cap. It starts fine in the morning and after twenty minutes at rest. It dies in odd places that could be dangerous. Is it the gas tank? Thanks, Andree |
