Fuel pressure great. Not checked sensor will that cause it not to start after it's hot?

Yes, it can cause it to flood out. If there's a connection problem or the sensor has died, it tells the computer it's something like -20F and needs all the fuel it can pour into the engine.

Top forward right hand side of the engine, just under the water outlet. Check the connector and wiring to the connector as well for corrosion, breaks, shorts, etc. If it is damaged, replacement connector/pigtails are available from Ford as well as most parts places.
Coolant temperature sensors are nothing more than thermistors in a case and as such they do eventually drift out of spec and die. About 10 years is an average run for a coolant temp sensor and it should be replaced as part of preventative maintenance IMHO - they're certainly cheap enough. I've also seen the connector and wiring to the connector fray or break so it's important to check those carefully too while you're at it.

There should be two temp sensors,, the one with one connection is for the gauge, the one with two connections if for the computer...
Now, which one did you change?
