Recently when I go out to start my car in the morning it starts and then dies. I go to start it again and it will sputter and die. after a couple tries and continualy rough idle it will finally hold on idle at about 400-500 RPM's, like its trying to die. I start to drive it and it acts like its not getting any fuel. The problem gets better as I drive it, idle is still terrible though.

This only happens if the car has set for a while(over 5-6 hours).

Also I have notice a fuel smell most of the time when it does this.

What is your Fuel pressure? That is where I would start. Does priming the pump multiple times before the initial start up help?

That or a misadjusted idle and/or dirty IAC come to mind.

Good luck.

You needa do two things:

1) Clean your MAF
2) Replace your O2 sensors

O2's are not used upon cold start up, which is one time he has issues.

I was thinking maybe something in the fuel lines, injectors, pump, etc.
