My '90 240dl is stalling in hot weather at highway speeds. I can drive all night without a problem but when it's hot out it will stall after about and hour of driving. If I let is sit for a few miniutes I can get it to run for a few more miles then it will stall again. Any Ideas would be appreciated

    I thought about vapor lock but then read that it was very rare with fuel injection. I haven't ruled it out, but I am not leaning towards it, mostly because I have had the car for four years and haven't had this problem.

    Sounds like vapor lock. Do you have a fuel line close to either the exhaust or something else that runs hot?
