Usually the TFI acts up when it gets hots. If you have an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator you might want to pull the vacuum line off and see if there is fuel in the vacuum line. The smell of gas could also be the charcoal canister malfunctioning as well. Just a few quick ideas.

you could have gotten moisture in your distributor cap and causing it to misfire and not burn the fuel.
