Vent line from tank kinked or partially blocked? Correct fuel pump? OEM tank assy OR Napa replacement? Even in Texas havent had any"vapor locks" if this is what dealer is implying UNLESS fuel pump bad! Get specs on coil for resistance from dealer or other members that have your manual and check out,ANYTHING possible IF it is electrical!

Had a similiar prob, ended up being the exciter coils in my stator, If your loosing spark, I'd check there.

Check all your conection plugs for corrsion and the kill switch.
A friend with a 400 explorer had to by pass his kill switch.
