Over the weekend I installed a hood vent over the passenger side of the 
motor, hoping to solve an increasingly exasperating vapor-lock and starter 
heat-soak problem on the old WX. Up to now I could manually turn on the injector 
cooling fan and just let it run to stop the vapor-lock, but it didn't help the 
starter heat-soak issue. The car runs proper temp, doesn't overheat, and all the 
fans work to spec with the lower of the 2 optional sensors, and I have the 
updated hole in the injector shroud to blow air on the fuel lines. That worked 
last year.
Well drove it home this afternoon, let it sit in the garage for 15 minutes 
and no joy! Vapor locked & heat-soaked, and it's only 45 degrees outside. If it 
sits with the hood up for 10 minutes it fires right up. No point in arguing 
that it isn't really vapor-lock, as I can hear the bubbles going back into the 
tank when I run the pump. Vigorously! Almost like the tank is boiling.
Oh well, at least the vent "looks good".
