2003 Thunderbird, 04300 miles. When the car warms up after a 30-minute drive, we begin to smell gas coming from the back of the car with the top down. About 10 minutes later the engine begins to spit/sputter. I baby the throttle for a while then it starts losing power and we pullover and let it sit for 15 minutes. We resume travel for only 15 minutes and we repeat the power failure. I had new coils/spark plugs installed but still have the problem. I'm thinking it must be running too rich and floods out. Anybody having similar issues or ideas?
