I acquired my 1974 911 Targa from my brother-in-law because he used it very little. After an oil change at the shop, I was on the road. Soon after my coil passed away. Replaced, I was on the rode again. It was running rough so back to the shop. I have new plugs, wires and they overhauled the fuel distributor. It ran great. Then the trouble started. On occasion, it wouldn't crank on a hot start after being parked for up to an hour. After cooling down, it would crank and run great. Several times of putting me down, I took it back to the shop and they again rebuilt the fuel distributor. Left the shop and it ran great. After a couple of weeks of no trouble, it died while driving. I coasted off the road and played with the flap in the air box. It cranked and I started home. It died again and would not crank. Caught a ride home, got my truck and car dolly and went to pick up my car. I was gone about 20 minutes, tried the car BEFORE loading and it cranked so I drove it home. MY WIFE WILL NOT RIDE WITH ME until I correct the problem! (My 69 VW vapor locks all the time.) Is this 911 vapor locking or WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?
Thanks!
