Default vapor locking

has anyone else had a problem with vapor locking on their car. Im not 100% that this is the problem but i get a mad misfire after i start the car again after the car has warmed up and been drivin. You can stomp on the gas and the problem goes away. Its been suggested that it might be vapor locking. Ive had several mechanics look at it and they cant seem to figure it out. Injectors have been cleaned, and im out of ideas. please help. do have lts on car, only for 2 months, but car has been doing this for over a year.

Modern cars rarely vapor lock. Have you taken a look at your EGR valve and tried replacing it? Sounds like it could be that type of issue.

It's worth a try to clean the little elements on the MAF. Use electronic parts spray cleaner or MAF cleaner.
