High idle

I have a 1979 280ZX non turbo, no mods to the engine. About a week ago my car started to idle around 15000 rpm (again) while in park, this only happens after the engine warms up, I have the idle screw turned all the way down! Another strange thing that's happening is it wont start if you turn it off, you have to wait 20 minutes (I timed it), it will turn over attempt to fire but that's it. I smell gas as if it flooded. I can sit there and turn it over till the battery is drained but it will not start. Like I said, I have to waite 20 minuts, then trun the key, starts like a charm!
What the heck? I've taken the car to two machanics, paid over $368.00 and I still have the same problem. All vaccuum hoses have been replaced, new plugs, wires and each wire has good spark. At this point I have no clue and I'm about ready to take a bat to the **** thing.
Any ideas?
