Hi.
Mate has a 2002 Pulsar (think its that year.. anyway).
Yesterday his car decided it was to hot and stalled (actually spluttered to a halt) and would not go again until he went back later on that night (when things cooled down).
Somebody told him that it suffered vapour lock (I thought EFI vehicles don't have this problem because the system is always under pressure from the injectors back to the regulator) and that he should remove the air filter and floor it while trying to start it.
.
I had a disagreement over it :box: and said that might have a problem with the carbon canister/fuel cap as that might cause the car to stall when trying to give it on really hot days...
what do you think ?
