Disco normally runs great.Has recently developed intermittent problem. After running for an hour or so and then shutting down for a short time the engine refuses to restart. Suspect vapor lock any suggestions?

That and the coolant temp sensor. Usually won't set a fault code for either, and thoroughly befuddles dealer service departments. Ask how I know :)

I have kind of the same issue here. Same kind of circumstances, after driving it for awhile, I'll pull into say a 7-11, shut down the truck, grab a drink, and jump back in after only 5 or so minutes. I start it up, and it will start, but the truck then almost immediately stalls (never has yet knock on wood). After a split second, revs jump back up, then settle to normal idle level. I have replaced coolant temp sensor (about 6mo ago) so that is not it in this case. Possibly fuel temp sensor then? Thanks for any tips or hints.
