Vehicle overheats, fuel flow stops on hot days (Virginia heat) after 2 hours of driving. Advised that any of 16 main components overheating might stop fuel flow. Need more specific solution! Thank you. Bob ---

Is the car actually overheating? As in does the temp light come on or does the temp gauge go into the red? ---

There’s a component that overheats. No, the temp light does not come on nor does the gauge go red. I’m asking if one of the components that control fuel flow has a problem or which one would most likely have the problem. It’s not a matter of the vapor lock or computer, those have both been tested. What other component would be failing? What’s likely to fail? ---

Vehicle will quit and after 5 minutes or so, it will start up again. The longer it sits each time, the further it will travel, as if something is cooling down. Example: last week, it took me 2 hours, with 18 stops (stop & start) to go 20 miles, because something is overheating and shutting off the fuel.
