Re: Acceleration when hot

["R. Shayne Pavlic'" <bcpi@arias.net>]

I had this happen twice on two different cars.  One an Audi, and one a
Suburban.  On the Sub, I put a new exhaust on and routed it to close to the
fuel line.  Re-did it and moved it away from the fuel line.  Other problem
was in a 91 200 TQ5S (my did not only rev poorly, but also would stall out).
 After about two years of my playing around with it and taking it to the
Audi dealer as well as the Mercedes dealer, no one could fix it.  One day, I
up and decided to replace the Oxygen sensor.  Problem solved.  However, I am
not sure why.

Anyone else have other ideas?

    Fuel system vapour lock? Do you have an injector cooling fan on your
engine?
