My '91 Syncro Westfalia has had a problem for three years that no VW
mechanic has yet been able to figure out. It seems to occur only in warm or
hot weather. after driving for a moderate to long time, sometimes when I
pullup to a stop sign the engine dies and won't restart. Or I will have
driven around town starting and stopping the engine numerous times, and and
then all of a sudden after a stop, it won't start up again.

After waiting 20-30 minutes it will almost always start again. It smells
like it's flooded. Thre different mechanics have tried to replicate the
problem without sucess, and nobody seems to know what's wrong. Mighty
inconvenient to be stuck, especially when I'm out in some forsaken place in
Mexico!

Anyone have any ideas?
