i had a tr6 that did exactly that. ran for a while, then just died. open
the vent cap (first thing you do - see if there is gas!), wait a minute, and
it ran. when i finally caught on i realized there was a sucking noise, like
opening a vacuum, when i popped the gas cap.
the vent line, which ran under the car to a carbon cannister in the engine
compartment (who thought that was a good idea???) ran by the exhaust (who
thought that was a good idea???). got too close, melted shut. i replaced
it with a steel line (i thought that was a good idea!!)
i know - who thought a tr6 was a good idea?????
(actually, i still have it and love it dearly)
