Hello, I am new to the forum, but I am running out of options.
I have a 72 Bronco with a 99 Mustang 302 fuel injected motor. When the temperature is more than about 85 degrees out, the truck will sputter and die when accelerating after about 30 minutes of driving and will not start again for another 30 minutes. I have had it in the shop about 4 times. It has 2 fuel filters, for some reason, 1 was cut out. I have had the tank dropped because one thought was that the fuel line would get hot and pinch. I have had all kinds of diagnostics on it. It runs fine in the winter, but that is short here in Texas.
There is an electronic fuel pump mounted right under the drivers seat.
I have had numerous debates with mechanics about the possibility that the fuel could be vaporizing in the fuel lines. Most don't agree that is the issue. Any thoughts or experiences? Can you wrap the lines, or do you need to reroute them?
Or do a need to put a fuel pump in the actual fuel tank?
Or some other thoughts?
Thanks for the feedback.
