I was told by a ford man,it was the carbon filter tank, replaced it with the same old problem exists. if it was the fuel lines,it would do it all the time,not only when it gets hot,you can drive this car all winter with no problem..

Thank You that will be something to look into, I always though it to be a gas problem but not the pump. its got that EFI carb ...
