2001 Honda accord
- cranks and struggles to start when cold (40F and below)
-cranking and struggles to start can last for 5-7 minutes
-area around car smells like gas while doing this
-using a shit load of gas each morning to start it
- runs like a charm once it gets up to temperature
-NO engine codes

Repairs:
Have replaces multiple censors (my dad did)
-I think O2 censor, cold start valve
- cleaned intake manifold and area around looking for blockage
-replaced multiple parts within intake manifold

Looking for solutions because my father is stubborn
