Car won't start... then starts on first crank few days later
This started when the weather got cold (30-50 degrees), don't know if that has anything to do with it. Engine would spin but it seems like no fuel is getting to the engine. And when I get it to start again few days later if I let it sit more than 12 hours without driving, it wouldn't start again. And I just leave it alone for about 2 to 3 days then is magically starts on the first try ??? One other problem is that the car emits a light fuel smell when under boost. Maybe there's a leak in the system, I've changed fuel filter so the system shouldn't be clogged. Please help it sucks having to get rides from friends.

fuel smell might be a pulsation dampaner.
tired compression might lead to flooding.
also the colder the more fuel the ecu puts in due to the larger amount of oxygen per volume of air.
It's a fuel related problem amplified by the cold weather i think.
there are way to unflood that are pretty simple.
lots of posts on that
