2 months ago I installed a new fuel pump. Car was running fine than it started missing on #1cyl. So I cleaned the fuel injectors changed plugs and #1coil pack. Problem solved. Now a new problem car starts hard when cold and I can smell raw fuel when it does start.

Try replacing the ECT sensor (coolant temp sensor for the COMPUTER. NOT the gauge).
Might just fix the problem. Just to be on the safe side, replace the Thermostat as well. It might just be "lazy"!
Hope this helps. Good luck!
