I have a 2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette Premier. I love this car, but it is really starting to have some issues! The most recent is that it is difficult to start. I have to press the gas pedal, then turn the key and then there is a very strong fuel smell. Once running, it runs fine. Any ideas what is causing this?

They had a recall on the fuel tanks! They leak. Check with your dealer and see if it's under recall quick.

Filler neck would leak fuel. Fuel pump maybe causing start problem. Have presure checked.
