Any time I go on a long trip 1hr+ (Especially in Summer). If I stop the engine for a short period (gas station fillup), when I go to restart it, my CJ rides super rough and stalls out. It eventually comes back to life after stepping on the gas for a while. I'm thinking its a Vapor Lock/Heat Soak issue and wanted to know if there's anything I could do to prevent this from happening like heat shielding my TBI injection system.
Thanks!
