450SL Runs great until 180 degrees.

My little red tomato never lets me down, gets home every time BUT... I THINK it has something to do with heat. Car starts perfect, warms up fine, hits 180 degrees and starts to flood at idle. As long as you keep it moving over 40, it'll run fine. Probably a LITTLE rich, but it ran just fine until it didn't. Cleaned air/coolant sensors, TPS, gave it a good talking to, everything checks out with a meter. Thought replacing sensors would be a cheap shotgun like with other cars Turns out they... 450SL Runs great until 180 degrees.
