88 vert 305tpi flloods and wont start!

305 tpi, when cold it will start, ruff idle and when its hot it stalls out and wont start again. It floods. New cap and rotor, new gas. Had a code before we ran cleaner through the intake. let it sit for an hour and started up, blew the carbon out and the code was gone. Still, after i shut her down it won't start again. Fuel filter oil change and new spark plugs are now done. Im thinkin either fuel pump or coil. Ideas please.

I think they found the problem. While cold, they tried the spark and the spark was good. Started the car and let it run. They checked the spark again while hot and the spark was barely there so i think the coil is shot.

I had an ignition module do that to me. Thing would die on the road and once while I was pulling through traffic! Could have got tboned. That would be worth replacing while your at it. It usually sits right under the rotor.
