Just a little background on whats been going on.... I previously had a cooling issue where the car heated up pretty bad one night and I had to just drive and stop to get it home one night.... ended up being a brand new hose that had two pin holes in it...
New problem: Since this was fixed the car has been having problems starting. This isnt a constant problem because sometimes I can go outside to the car after its been sitting all night in the cold and it will start right up. Later I could come out to the car during lunch and the car wouldnt start. It would try to turn over (smell of gas). I would stop trying to start it then go back at it and it would finally start. Once started the car acts completely normal. Its currently at the shop but they couldn't get the car to replicate the problem. So while I wait just want to get some opinions.
Also sometimes when the car starts its a very abrupt start. To me it doesnt sound normal. Gas mileage as been poor as well and I know the car has an exhaust leak.
