Just a had a new O2 sensor put in my car, and was driving home as normal. BAM! Car completely shuts off in traffic! Fortunately I was still rolling a little enough to pull into the turn lane. (Was on a 4-lane highway going 55mph).
My mechanic rocks and came and helped me get it starting again. Tested spark plugs, etc, and eventually said he thought it was "Vapor Lock". He noted he was pretty sure it couldn't happen in an electronic fuel pump car, but it has been quite hot. We revved the car for several minutes to ensure there was no more vapor left. Drove the rest of the 20 mins home with no further issue...
Anyone have thier ideas, or idea with it being "vapor lock"?
