Hello fellow Rover drivers,
it seems that the fuel vaourisation issues are a hot (sic) topic right now. I assume i have the same problem, because after a while in hot weather driving higher speeds my car starts to stutter and power goes away. The engine does not die, and when i switch the engine off and wait a couple of minutes, the problem goes away for a while. It is directly temperature related, because in cold weather the car runs like hell even at high speeds for a long time.
OK, what to do next? I have replaced all ignition components and fitted an electric fuel pump (Pierburg) in the engine bay. The pump and fuel lines are really close to the left cylinder bank. What can i do to keep it cooler? Put it further up front nearer to the cooler or put it lower in the engine bay? There is not much room to fiddle with. Or would some heat insualtion material do any good there? Any suggestions? Every hint is welcome, because this problem leads to the fact that my wife does not like to take the P6 for longer trips, which is not good.
