[Shotimes] SHO shutting down when hot

Try a new gas cap.  The cap is part of a sealed fuel system.  If it's not 
sealing
correctly, that could be causing your problem.  Besides, it's a cheaper 
than a
fuel pump.  ; )

[Shotimes] SHO shutting down when hot






I know I've seen something on this before, but not sure where.

I was told when I bought my car(93 MTX) that when it's hot(outside temp, 
not
the car) I have to make sure to keep fuel in it or it will die.  Well, it
died on me once when it got to a quarter of a tank. Since then, I've been
keeping at least a half tank in it, but it is still doing it. I was in 
line
yesterday at the bank, try to take off, it dies.

Funny thing, I thought about vapor lock in the tank, so I open the gas 
tank,
start it, runs great.

What is going on? Do I need a new fuel pump?

Any help is appreciated!!!
