car wont start after warming up

89 rs 305 tbi wont start up after warmed up, crankes just fine, but smells like its flooding. i'm thinkin ignition module or that dreaded crappy accel coil i put on it a few years ago. please help and also what does everyones temp when driving. mine is 120 ish, is that right or should i change the thermostat. i hope i didnt get any intake gaskets backwards when i install the new motor this winter, but if i did wouldn't it over heat????

might be a coolant temp sensor for the ECM. If the coolant sensor thinks the engine is cold, it'll give it an extra dose of fuel and could be too rich to start. use a test light to see if you're getting spark, if you are, try holding the throttle open when cranking and see if it starts that way. If it starts, you're getting too much fuel. If it still doesn't start, check for injector pulse and fuel pressure.
