your blue in the face but dont cry to me when you get stranded 
somewhere.Heat soak is a constant problem with Deloreans and Fiats< 


Well, you're the one with the hot start problem not me. You didn't 
say in your first post you'd already checked rest pressure. If your 
hot start problem persists and you have good rest pressure your 
problem is not associated with fuel vaporization. Fuel held at the 
specified rest pressure will not vaporize with the typical heat load 
presented. This isn't theory, it's physics. With proper rest pressure 
heat soak is *not* a problem with Deloreans, at least as it relates 
to the fuel system.

If rest pressure is per spec and holds over time your problem is not 
fuel lock...period. You can't have rest pressure and have vapor 
because vapor would prevent rest pressure. Not only does rest 
pressure prevent vapor but, put another way, vapor would preclude a 
correct measurement of rest pressure. Vapor is compressible while 
liquid fuel is not. 

If you want to stick with that theory be my guest. Going by the book 
is the way things should be done, that and a solid understanding of 
what it is you're working on. In addition, possessing tunnel vision 
makes for very poor diagnostic technique. It also strikes me if 
you're going to come here seeking help you'd be a litle more 
accepting of those who offer it. After all, no matter what the cause 
of your hot start problem you thus far seem incapable of solving it 
on your own. 

Btw, I was never once stranded anywhere in my car for any reason and 
it ran like a swiss watch, with no one except me ever having laid a 
hand on it for maintenance.
