The injection pump is a distributor type pump, the same one that

Keep us updated on the rest of your trip!
Check with a diesel injection service -- I'm not familiar with this particular
pump, but a failed pressure valve or a worn rotor will give this problem, along
with low power warm. You should NOT be able to get vapor lock, as the
injection lines should be holding pressure up to the pop pressure
