Hi  Gents,

Well, my climate control difficulties fixed itself, and I've  been enjoying 
hot and cold air from all vents.  A new issue has sprung up  lately.  A few 
days ago, my car didn't start right away for the first  time since I bought it 2 
ears ago.  It started up the second time around  with little fuss, but thought 
it odd at the time.  Today, after having  driven it for about 10 miles, 
parked it for about 5 minutes, came back out and  -crank crank crank- no start.  
Tried this several times within about 15  minutes.....no luck.  Checked under 
the hood, nothing real obvious,  wigged everything I could, still no start.  Let 
it sit another 10  minutes, and vroom, starts right up.  Drives just fine for 
the way home,  good power, idle, etc. Got home, turned it off, started right 
up again 2 more  times.  Let it sit about the same amount of time, go out and 
starts right  up again.  WTF?

Come to think of it, the CEL light flashed on and  off really fast sometime 
in the last two weeks.  Just once, and quite a  while before this all happened. 
 I've also noticed a slight smell of  gasoline in the cabin lately, also 
occasionally, not always, and before this  all started happening.

Any thoughts?

TIA,

Jim  Fleischer
