EFI cars with recirculating fuel systems don't get vapor lock.
Does it have spark when it won't start?

Last week, I was on my way to fix an AC at a friend's home, when it stalled out.
After a couple years of dealing with this, I pulled out my freon tank and gauges and shot some freon at the base of the distributor, where the ignition module is.
Cooled it right down!
When I cranked it, it coughed a few times then fired right up, and I went straight to get a new module.
It's only been a week, but it's hot as hell here in Vegas, and no problems yet.
