Subject: [s-cars] AM Hard Start?!

Well over the past 2 weeks I have begun to experience hard starts in the A=
M=2E  This weekend I replaced my fuel filter thinking maybe it was getting =
clogged.  Also had the Fuel pump replaced about 3 mo. ago when I had simila=
r symptoms but the car would not start at all.  These most recent hard star=
ts seems to take about 10 seconds for the car to start and car smells flood=
ed after start.  Once the car is started the car runs perfectly well with n=
o noticeable ignition issues.  Also once the car is warmed up it seems to s=
tart just fine also..as I can shut the car off and start her right back up =
w/ no issues.

Suggestions?

Suggestions?  Sure.  Your car and my car should mate.  Will produce one car
that would start in both hot and cold start scenarios...

OK, enough.

Any codes?  Mine is throwing 00561 Fuel Mix. Adj. 15-10 adaptation limit not
reached intermittent.  As yours smells of fuel (mine does not), it sounds
less like a fuel delivery prob and more of an ignition issue, no?  What
kind?  Dunno, sorry.  Could this be an early CPS sign?
