OT: Car stalls at idle when hot, and then won't start
#5
If it is a model that has a fuel pump in the tank (like older VW/Bosch systems) then it could be a sign of a fuel failing pump.
This is especially true if you are driving around with low fuel levels (say under 1/4 tank) In these systems the fuel in the tank
acts as a heat sink for the fuel pump. Either way I would have the mechanic check fuel pressure and replace filters before
I replaced injectors. Can't hurt to try cleaner though.
