Subject:82 won't start when hot

OK, I have finally replaced all the vacuum lines and the temp head
sensor on our 82 and the engine is still hard to start when it is hot.
Although, it is better about not dying when I let of the accelerator,
like at a light or something. When I try to start it the engine turns
over and over and over and I feather the accelerator pedal and finally
it starts and I have to feather the pedal a little more until the revs
get up and then it's OK. If it were a carb'ed engine I would think it
was flooding as that what it acts like but I don't smell fuel. When the
engine is cold it fires right up no problem. What should I check next?
