97 Lincoln Continental- Starts fine cold or restarting withing 5 minutes of turning off hot, but restarting after more than 5-10 minutes up to a couple of hours, it dies out after starting. Is it vapor lock? Bad sensor? Engine too hot? There are 2 electric fans at the radiator, I only see one of them ever operating at idle. Is that normal?

Vapor lock doesn't exist any more. The first thing I would check is the fuel pressure at the moment this is happening.
