I have a 1997 Volvo 5.7GL and recently it became hard to start at times.
The hard starts occur after it is warmed up and then shut off but not every time (about 1 in 5 starts). The hard start has occured 2 minutes after shutting off and up to 4 hours after shutting off. It runs consistently at 150F.
When this happens it cranks and fires for a second then dies. After doing this numerous times it may start.
Could vapor lock occur on after 2-3 minutes after turning off?
Any other thoughts?
