When hot, car will not start 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be Peter Hoffman on  Fri Mar 16 02:41 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Here's the problem: My wife's car turned over but did not start after getting gas at the local station, had to be flatbedded home. The next morning it started fine. This was 2 weeks ago. My regular shop checked the car over, could not find anything wrong. Just last month had a complete tuneup including both O2 sensors (was getting check engine lite). Last nite the same thing happened, and it started this morning. I have noticed that it takes longer to start now than when the car was newer. Is this a vapor lock problem, weak fuel pump or relay? I don't want my wife to get stuck again.
