1986 745T wont start when warm, drips fuel on ground, idles at 1600 700

OK. Just some history of what i've done in the past 3 weeks to this stupid car: 1. replaced distributoe because hall effect sensor was broken on old one.
2. replaced entire engine harness with new one because car wouldnt start after new dist. was installed. Would drip fuel everywhere as well, and would start wheh fuses #1 and #11 were removed. I discovered the atypical faulty injectors plugs/ground wries.
3. Car still would not start. Tried replacing ECU.
3. Car started once, ran great, albeit that it would idle at 1600 rpm. Would not start when hot, noticed one of my plug wires was arcing to the valve cover. Replaced all wires.
4. Noticed gaping 2" hole in bypass hose from turbo to (blow off valve?)? The hose that runs right in front of cyl # 4 (looking from passenger side, cyl 1 being on left). Replaced that hose.
5. Car started after a few cranks, ran great, still idled at 1600, smelled rich. Drove it aroun for 15 mins with no problem other than ^^^^. Turned it off, tried to start it right away, would not fire. Also started dripping fuel.

What do you guys suggest from here? I'll check the temp. sensor connection when the car cools down...what else am i missing?
