1992 XJ wont sta running after t-stat install. HELP!
Decided to change my t-stat finally as my heat was poor. Purchased a heavy duty 195 t-stat and gasket and installed no problem. Refilled coolant and started the XJ. Electric fan was ON and I got a Check Engine. Then it stalled. I cannot get it running unless I floor it then it runs for about 1 second then dies. If I remove the fuel pump relay it will stay running for about 10 seconds till it runs out of gas. Spark appears good. Seems flooded. It has been -25 deg here and I put it in the garage +70deg to work on it. I can smell gas in the house now. Sheesh.
Ideas? I need this for work in a few hours. It was running great before I dicked with the t-stat. HELP.

Bad coolant temp sensor I guess. Error code 12-22-55. Replaced and it runs fine now. Gotta remember that little trick for the future on my other XJs. Sheesh.
