93 ga 2.3L stalls please help

i have a 93 ga 2.3L 150xxx miles. after my car runs for while oh about 40 mins or so it will stall out and will not restart, it will crank but not fire, and if i try it alot i will start to smell gas almost like it is flooded. also if i run the car for a little while and turn it off, it will not fire back up until the engine cools off. i changed my spark plugs and the idle air controller but it didnt seem to help. I found a hole is one of my hoses, im not sure which hose it is. it is located on top of the engine and has a port that plugs into the side of the hose, it runs really close to the idle air controller. i can feel air from the hose so im not sure if i have a vacum leak problem, i dont know if this will help to know which hose it is but the cost of a new one is alittle over 100 dollars. sorry this is so long but i wanted to be very detailed on my problem. i hope somehelp can help.

thank you,
Kenny

Welcome kjmracer. The fuel smell is because when you crank the engine and the fuel keeps a pumping even though the engines not running. And it will flood the out the plugs. The hose thats loose probley needs to hooked back up to run proper. I'll PM you a link.
