This could be the age old problem of the fuel vaporizing in the lines due to excessive heat on the fuel system or the lack of the fuel injection system maintaining pressure after shutdown.

Again check the fuel pressure while it is in a non start condition.

Paul. Thanks for the information. Do you know what psi is normal? And where the best place to take the psi would be if the fuel is vapor locking ? Also, i read that the fuel pump normally does not run until the engine is running, and not in the key on position.
