Having trouble starting my sebribg consistently. Seems that after turning off the engine it will not start again until at least 20 min or so passes, then when the engine does start there is a strong scent of gasoline. At first I thought I was just out of gas but after refueling I know thats not the problem.

Camshaft position sensors and crankshaft position sensors often fail by becoming heat-sensitive, and work again after cooling off for a half hour. Start by checking the diagnostic fault codes. Cycle the ignition switch three times from "off" to "run" within five seconds without cranking the engine, then watch the code number show up in the odometer display.
