My '85GL floods out and won't start when the engines warm. I've replaced the O2 sensor ( the lead was broke off), and the temp2 sensor to no avail. After that I ran a wire up to the dash so I could turn the fuel pump on and off. Here's were I get confused. It starts just fine IF you shut down the engine by turning off the fuel pump let it run out of gas and die. Then when you restart it you start the engine let it run for a few seconds (it will run for 15-20 seconds with out the gas turned on) then turn on the fuel. If you turn the key off and don't let it run out gas during shut down it floods at start up. Call me a dummy, but, where's it getting its fuel to start? What am I missing here? Any ideas? 

Thanks
