Hard start --what's goin on?? 850

Our '96 base 850 with 126K has not been wanting to start lately. It just cranks and cranks then begins to flood (you can smell the gas). Eventually it will fire up after a few tries. This mostly happens when it is hot outside or if the engine is warm. The computer shows no codes and the car is well maintained. Is this vapor lock? Any suggestions?
