[Shotimes] Re: 1993 MTX stalling problem

Didn't someone recently have a problem where the car was stalling after running for a while on a hot day, and the likely culprit was a defective gas cap or pressure vent?  I remember something like that.

Ran the codes. KOEO came out all clear.  However KOER does show 524, which
is a fuel pump code of sort.  This was after we had cleared the computer
memory in an attempt to get the car to forget whatever it was that was
troubling it and let it idle until hot.  It was particularly hot yesterday
afternoon.  If all of these seem to coincide, then it is very likely the
fuel pump. As Al Fitz said.

Thanks again,

May sound strange, but I have the same problem. Happened yesterday as a
matter of fact. Do you know how much gas he had? I posted a while back
about
mine dying when hot and the gas is low(as low as half a tank, depends on
heat). My guess, if like mine, reason it was acting ok when you got there,
it cooled down. After I fill mine with gas, runs great!!

Unfortunately haven't had time or money to look into it any more....
