strong smell after starting is common if flooded, is smell still there after a bit of idling or driving? about depressing peddle, not sure. maybe ur injectors are clogged but then that doesnt make sense. how does the car run? how does it idle?

Your injectors are most likely leaking or clogged. Have them sent to RC or Cruising performance to be professionaly cleaned.
