Corsica dies after idling,cools then restarts

Hello-
1996 corsica with 97,000-
Runs great, but if I sit and eat lunch and let it idle it falls on its face and dies -If I try to restart it won't fire. After a half hour it will restart and run fine-
My temp gauge stays consistent at under the 1/2 way mark. I have also smelled coolant many times-
I am planning on replacing the thermostat today to start with, any other ideas, and how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks in advance!
Ryan C
