Vapor lock only happens when the vehicle is hot. Flooding at start up, you smell gas. If it is over fueling threw the carb/throttle, then you will see lots of black smoke out of the tail pipe when running.
It could be a vapor lock but not likely. Since the introduction of fuel injection vapor lock has been eliminated. You need to figure out if you are loosing fuel pressure or spark when it will not start back up. Could be a fuel pump relay or ignition module among other things. Even a problem with the vent for the gas tank.
Your Fuel System Could be vapor locking.. try getting your gas cap checked to insure it is working correctly... if this is not the issue. you might try haveing your fuel filter replaced.
