Sounds like you have a bad cold start valve it may be stuck open so the problem isn't to little fuel its too much fuel this problem would be accompanied by poor fuel miliage, and high emissions best of luck

That kind of makes sense in my case. After the engine is hot it won't start and when I try to start it it just cranks and I smell gas.
