I have a 97 Cadillac sls, it seems like it is flooding after it sits. I have to give it gas to get to start, after it starts you can smell gas. after it idles or I drive it for a few miles the gas smell goes away and the car runs great until I turn it off and restart it. it also backfired on me this last time I started it, what is going on?
