Vapor Lock.
What is the car? and how old is it? In most cases because as the car sits the fuel in the fuel line above the engine boils into a vapor. This causes a vapor bubble in the fuel line which prevents the injectors from operating properly. The condition is called vapor lock.
some cars have a 'shift lock' mechanism, you insert your car key into the 'shift lock' machanism to unlock the gear, restart your car to drive to nearest repair shop.
No it shouldn't, unless you have your lock set to come on after a restart.
Are you certain that you are having Vapor lock ?? I haven't seen a true case of vapor lock in years...and i own a shop. Vapor lock (also called percolation) occurs when the gasoline in the fuel line boils. the fuel must get very hot for this to happen. Usually it happens on a hot summer day and the fuel line is placed too closely to an exhaust manifold. In almost every case of vapor lock i have ever seen, the car was not fuel injected but carburetted. The cure is to re-route the fuel line away from heat sources under the hood. But i must say that i would be surprised if you have an actual case of vapor lock. It is rare.
