I've not done anything but I've been thinking about it. It broke down on me the other night, with the engine cutting out and failing to restart. If you leave it for an hour or so it will restart and then cut out again after a minute or two. It kind of suggests fuel starvation. Looking on here at what people have done about similar symptoms, I shall start with the fuel system: the pump (Clanforbes), the filter (CharlesY) and then maybe move on to the injector seals (Buckshot) but will leave that 'til last as it's a bigger job and involves taking the rocker shaft out. Also on my list of possible culprits are the MAP, MAF and crank position sensors. They may not cause the problem in its entirety but may not be helping. I've also checked for oil contamination in the engine loom, but it's nice and dry. I changed the injector loom at the end of September anyway, and it seems to be holding out.
Could it be vapor lock? Not had experience but read about it before a while ago and symptoms sound like yours. Engine cutting out and not starting when hot/warm? Think it's cheaper to fix might just be a new thermostat.
May be able to just take this out for a test and see if it starts and stays alive?
