Angry sometimes car starts, sometimes just turns over

ok, here we go...... sometimes i will start my car and it will start fine, other times, it will just turn over....and turn over..... and turn over! if i push start it, it starts! when it does start, it smells like fuel...really bad!! i have an s5 w/ s4 turbo motor... if that helps ......posiibly fuel leaking into engine??? flooding??? leaking injector???

leaking injector, i have the same thing. remove the injector fuse and the other fuse(cant remember the name of it), next to it, its green and the other one is pink. take em out of the fuse box under the hood, then try to start it for about 15 sec. then put it back in and itll start. ur car is fine. just get new injectors or fix the ones u have.
