Re: Help: Coupe GT leaves me stranded for the 1st time

Up here in Minnesota we get it all the time. These exact simptoms are 
experienced when you put in bad gasoline! It's called vapor lock. Pockets 
of vapor form in your fuel line. My 5k CSTQ as well as my mom's '91 100 do 
that all the time if we fill up anywhere, but AMOCO. It happens a lot 
more on hot days. My friend's Honda Inspire AWD I5 and Taurus GL do that 
too. So fill up somewhere else like AMOCO, SHELL (I don't know what is 
considered BRAND gas station is your area) and most likely it'll go away 
with second if not first fill up.
