[TR] Apparent vapor lock

This is something that has happened a few times since this car has  been on 
the road and I think I have established a pattern.  The car starts  well and 
runs well, and if shut off for, lets say, an hour starts well and runs  well 
again.  If shut off for a short period of time, enough so that the  temp gauge 
rises because of no circulation/fan,  It starts well, but goes  through periods 
of rough running, almost like a plug wire is disconnected (its  not that).  I 
can get it to clear, but intermittently returns to rough  running.
I have not continued to drive to see if it permanently clears when the temp  
gets back down to 185, as I usually go straight home.  Every time this has  
happened I have been close to home.
The coil is hot but not so that I can't touch it, although I would not want  
to caress it.  It does not seem unusual.  It seems to be related to  the 
elevated motor temperature from being shut off. 
Any other suggestions?
