Are you certain that you are having Vapor lock ?? I haven't seen a true case of vapor lock in years...and i own a shop. Vapor lock (also called percolation) occurs when the gasoline in the fuel line boils. the fuel must get very hot for this to happen. Usually it happens on a hot summer day and the fuel line is placed too closely to an exhaust manifold. In almost every case of vapor lock i have ever seen, the car was not fuel injected but carburetted. The cure is to re-route the fuel line away from heat sources under the hood. But i must say that i would be surprised if you have an actual case of vapor lock. It is rare.
