On my car I solved a ton of heat issues when I installed the ford Taurus 2-speed fan, now it runs cooler all the time and I can control heat spikes using the hi-speed portion of the fan.
Good luck, Bill
Hi Bill:
Oh I know, I removed the faulty gas pressure regulator which had no business being there to begin with; I have a mecahnical gas pump. The venting of the tank was verified, the in line filter was changed, the timng was verified, the starter is high torque brand new and heat shileded, the battery is fine no voltage drop. Now that removed the gas preas. regulator the car runs much better, however, you can feel the heat from the engine which could cause the vapor lock. After a while it starts fine though. I appreciate your input though. tks man
Lou
