Even so, I'd be pretty surprised if the problem was vapor lock. Vapor lock as we once knew it is a thing of the past."I am pretty sure that the stock setup in these cars does not have a fuel return rail, and the only tubes to the fuel tank are the filler tube, the fuel pump output line, and an evaporative emissions tube.

As a result you would have to heat the fuel line with a propane torch to get the fuel to boil and even then it would be cooled by the flowing fuel circulating from the tank to the engine and back again to the tank. Only thing I do is change oil, tires and a battery. This causes a constant flow of pressurized, cool fuel in the lines to the engine system, be it fuel injection or carburetor. We hPontiac Vibe vehicles for sale that are reported accident free, 9 1-Owner cars, and 30 personal use cars. Excessive fuel which is not used is sent back to the fuel tank. So, I wouldn't assume the 2005 Vibe ECU/ECM/PCM is the same as the one in the Matrix.Quote, originally posted by MiVibe-ToolGuy »Today's fuel pumps are in the fuel tank where they push the fuel under pressure to the engine systems.

Toyotas use Denso components while the Vibes use Delphi.Don't know about the 2005 Vibes, but in the 2003/2004 Vibes, the Toyota "TRD" supercharger would not work on the Vibe because the Vibe ECU/ECM/PCM was different, and the TRD piggyback module was not compatible with the ECU/ECM/PCM in the Vibe.

Today's fuel pumps are in the fuel tank where they push the fuel under pressure to the engine systems.

In older engines with "sucking" fuel pumps at the engine the pressure in the fuel line to the tank was reduced by the sucking action of the fuel pump drawing fuel form a fuel tank nearly twenty feet away, and when heated, the gasoline actually boiled creating a vapor of gasoline which the fuel pump could not handle, thus the name "vapor lock". Vapor lock occurs when the vapor pressure of the fuel is higher than the surrounding environment.
