[QUOTE="mcatrophy, post: 1050760, member: 3187"] Slick - We're not talking about vapour in the tank, but in the fuel lines, where the petrol vaporises due to excessive heat. I suspect Scooter is right, that vapour lock is most unlikely in a fuel injection system because of the high fuel pressure used. But, starting then cutting sounds more like a fuel issue than an electrical problem. I also notice you say you press the starter for 2 seconds. If you always release the starter after 2 seconds, then maybe the engine simply hadn't caught properly? I press my starter button untilthe engine has definitely caught. That's usually about 2 seconds, but sometimes it's less, occasionally it needs more than 2. [/QUOTE]
