Flloods Badly and Stalls when Engine Warms Up

It was 1950 or something when I posted the message below. I tookthe advice given and, finally, today started the truck. It didn't help.The problem - stated more clearly and precisely than below - is thatwhen the engine is cold, it starts quickly and runs not too bad (slightlyrough). After about 4 - 8 minutes of idling, both TBIs spit 4 - 5 timesthe normal amount of gas and the engine stalls.I spent a lot of time cleaning the coolant sensor connector, but everythingremains the same.Is there a diagnosis procedure?

Take the module to Autozone and have it tested to see if it is bad. You could have an ignition problem that is cooking the ICM, causing her to load up as the spark weakens then eventually fouls out the plugs and kills the motor.
