Two times now this winter I have had to use the e-brake to control a spinout. Both times the car will come to a bogging stall stop even tho I've released the brakes and puched the clutch pedal back in. And there I sit. It'll turn over, but it won't start. But than if I pop the clutch out while cranking it over there will be just a little bit of movement in the engine and than it will start the next time I crank it over.

It really is a labor of love making a neglected CB7 with "normal wear and tear" into something worth being proud of. -
Vapour Lock generally occurs with extreme under bonnet temperatures on very hot days. It's not that common in Fuel Injected cars compared to Carburettored Engines. The fuel in the lines & rail get that hot it starts to Aerate or vapourize, hence 'Vapour Lock'.
Are you sure it's not getting that cold the fuel is freezing up in the fuel lines from the tank, from what I've gathered in other Posts that it is Brass Monkey Weather in the States ATM. -1.0 Deg for fuck sake.
In the Depths of Winter here in Newcastle it will get down to about 11 Deg C.
and that's Fuckin' Cold for us. If we didn't see it on telly we wouldn't know what snow looked like.
Were in the middle of Summer and were hitting over 42 Deg C (In The Shade)

I wonder if this is that loose fuse box or main relay problem I've heard of. When I first got the car it had wouldn't want to start sometimes. Very intermittent.It really is a labor of love making a neglected CB7 with "normal wear and tear" into something worth being proud of.Comment

Yeah, by the looks of it the MAIN EFI RELAY and/or Ground Connections, mainly at the Thermostat Housing, seems to be causing a bit of greif with a lot of people here lately.Comment
