warm engine quiting problem

[abatzis2@hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

not quite sure about the specifics in an 8v, but iirc there can be a problem 
with vapor lock of the fuel in the lines when warm.  there's a system to 
prevent this, but i can't for the life of me remember what it is. hmmm. i 
guess that's not very helpful. oh well.
