Try looking at the fuel pressure regulator (FPR). Had one do this to me ( hard start, rough idle/died / fuel smell , etc. Turned out to be the FPR. Didn't have time to fix so I took in in... think it was somewhere around $300.

could be...also have seen TBI's do that when the coolant temp sensor goes wonky. It can make it go full rich like that..

thanks guys it took a couple of days before I got your replies so I poked around a little more and found gas coming out of the vacuum hose from the regulater so I changed it and that was what it was. thanks again, this is a great sight.
