EricInAZ Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 After driving around in the 107º afternoon temp, I parked while the temp gauge was maxed out. Returning a few minutes later, the gauge was back to the normal 1/2 way mark, but the car would crank & only sputter a little. I'm guessing this was vaporlock, which I thought was a problem from a bygone era of older carbuerated cars. This is the first time this has happened on any of my vehicles for around 20 years - the 05 Civic is a recent purchase as a project car/daily driver. Itc happened again later while I was getting cash at the Bank drive-thru. In each instance, letting it sit foe=r about 15 minutes. Is this normal or a well known problem??
