1994: “When the weather is warm, the VAN will die and not start again until the engine has cooled down. You are stuck along side the road until then. The first time this happened I called for a tow and was told that the VAN was vapor locked. Was towed 35 miles to a garage to have it fixed. After looking at the VAN this is when was told it was vapor locked.”
