4 Runner flooding issue?

[tonyisme]

I've had my 4 Runner since 1995. Its a 1990 model, with v6. I have an issue sometimes, in hot weather. 4 Runner runs great, its a manual transmission, V6 engine. Now that it is above 96 degrees here in Arizona, after driving awhile, and I shut off vehicle in a parking lot, I go into a store. I come out in 5-10 minutes, and try and start. Blue smoke comes out tailpipe, I smell a little gas. It acts like its flooded. If I don't depress gas pedal, it will likely start after cranking the starter maybe 10 times. But if I push gas pedal, it acts like its flooding. Once I get it running, it is fine. This doesn't happen all the time.
In Cold weather, starts fine but within 5 minutes while I'm driving it may stall at a stop light unexpededly. Scares the crap out of me.

While driving freeways & around town, no issues. Fuel filter has been changed. Is this a cold start circuit issue? My hot water pump changed 1 year ago.

I have a similar issue; I have a 1990 4Runner, automatic, with the V6 3.0 EFI engine that is having the same type of issues. It will idle and run strong and normal but then out of the blue when I either come to a stop or give it a little gas to speed up, it'll hiccup then die. It smells like its flooded, I can smell the gas, so I give it 15-20 minutes to dry out and it will start again.

Any ideas?
