1991 Ford F150 not starting after gets hot
I have a 91 f150 that after running for a bit and it getting hot does not want to start. i have to let it cool down for like 30 minutes before i can get it to start. When I take off the gas cap there is a big release of gas vapors. any clues as to what it might be or how to fix this? also the oil pressure drops when hot as well.

What *does* happen when it won't start?

The vapor noise, something is up with your EVAP system - Evaporative Recovery.

yes the engine cranks but does not ignite
i pull out the fuel pump relays and cool them off and then it will start but the engine itself does not overheat
an indication of what when the oil pressure drops??
any ideas for the EVAP system?
