i have this problem for a long time. everytime i have to crank it 2 to 3 times before it start. everytime you crank it and it doesnt start you could see a white smoke coming from the airflow meter, and you could smell gas. i already change the airflow meter, did a tune up, change the OVP, FP relay, engine temp. sensor, cold start sensor, fuel injector. i have been to 3 different garages and they keep changing parts thats doesnt fix the problem. i have been to different forums and nobody seems to know the culprit.

First off your car doesn't have an air flow meter, so I can't advise you there. Secondly I suggest one of those three shops run a fuel pressure, fuel volume, and fuel internal leak test according to the manual. You need fuel and fire to start the car. Once fuel is sorted out you can deal with fire if need be.
