rough start, smelling like fuel?

im still learning my way around a motor so this definantly puzzles me. whenever i go to start my car, it barely turns over, after hitting the gas pedal repeatedly, it will finally start..barely running at low RPM's and smelling like fuel, but after about two minutes it will idle normally and the gas smell with go away. along with that i drive my car for any amount of time, shut it off and go to turn it right back on, same problem. now when it sits over night in the colder weather it will start just fine. any suggestions as to what could be the source of this problem? injectors? spark plugs? starters? any help is apprecaited

loading up with fuel and overnite it evaporates I'd bet injectors leaking fuel into combustion chamber

if you decide you need injectors, do all of them, its the same amount of work and FIC , a vender on this site, is excellent not only on price , but service also.IMO
