Griff cut out today

[hot metal]

I was on my way to an appointment today when the engine just cut out.I pulled up tried the starter, it started but died again instantly , I tried several times untill eventually it started and kept going .Done about another 40 miles since and no problem WTF.The heat wash from the engine seemed quite high but temp barely went over 90. I was thinking vapour lock in the fuel line maybe ,anyboddy had anything similar ?
