What Could Be Causing This!!! Every time I drive in town and car gets above 180 degrees and I take off hard the car feels like its vapor locking. The engine is all stock I have used a hypertech on it? It only does it in first and second when I'm on it.

OK maybe not vapor locking, Its like a really bad stall like its out of fuel or something. The car never has any type of miss or anything. I have changed plugs and wires and it still doe it. I have no clue what cause be causing this.

Change your fuel filter. My old army jeep was like that. Would drive fine cool, but after driving awhile, it would just choke up. I'd have to either futter the gas like mad with the choke out, or let it die and sit for 5mins. I didn't think it was the filter since I could breathe through it alright, but after putting a new one on the next year, problem solved.
