Hot start problems
My other truck is an '85 Nissan PU, I always put Chevron Premium in it but last Friday the only gas I could find was 76 premium that has methanol in it. Now everytime I shut off the engine it won't start back up. After about 15 minutes of sitting it will start again. I checked for loose vacuum lines, automatic choke, electrical connections, timing,and plugs. It reminds me of vapor lock but this truck has electronic fuel pump that is in the rear of the truck by the gas tank. And the hot no start happens in the day and night. Anyone have any ideas.

Hot start problems
The motor would turn over fine. I did finally solve the problem. The carbon contacts in the distributor cap were completely burned away including part of the plastic. One of the coil wires came partially off of the cap and led to arcing. I replaced the rotor, cap, and coils and solved my problem. Thanks.
