People say that what doesn't kill you in this life
will make you stronger. I'm not sure if that is true
or not, but i do know one thing-You have to learn from
it and it has to make you better.......it has to.......

You could have a fuel pump going out when it gets hot or you could have a leaking FPR

Vapor-Locking?????? I know Hydro-locking ,but, vapor-locking.....?

Really what you have is a common J problem. GM diside to use Saturn style starter in the J's. With age the car will take longer to start. Really threr is lettle you can do. DO NOT LAY ON THE STARTER. Unless your GM recall has been done this can start a fire.
