    Default vn v8 overheating when at operating temp??

    What is wrong???
    Car runs fine when it starts up and is still cold. But once it hits normal operating temp it mis-fires and then eventually cuts out..... floods (can smell fuel)

    Have already replaced all sensors, computer and electrics.... could this be weak valve springs?

    HELP!!!

    check the fuel regulator diaphram vacuum hose if fuel is present replace regulator(test in one hour after motor has been switched off)
    Research has shown that men usually sleep on the right side of the bed.
    Even in our sleep we happen to be right.
