Default Heat stroke???

got an 86' and living in Vegas its been up round 100 degrees lately. Was out the other night and my car all of a sudden while at the lights started running like crap, like it was starving of fuel. Managed to get it home and started it a few hours later and it was fine. It seems to do this after running for a period of time at high heat.

Any surggestions??

The answer is the same. For starters, do a complete flush and replace with new 50/50 mix. Check your hoses. One could be collapsed or due for a change. Take a look at your tstat, you could use a new one. etc.etc.etc.

Sounds to me like your fuel pump is overheating and giving out. You did not mention any coolant and/or oil temps...what were they? Hard to say without being there and know all parameters.
