My 1999 Chevy has a starting problem it starts great when it is cold but when it has already been started you have to hold the gas pedal to get it started and after it starts you can smell raw fuel. What's wrong?
we had it put on a computer but the computer told us there was nothing wrong with it.

So you have to hold the gas pedal all the way to the floor to get it to start when the engine is hot?If so sounds like its flooding as if a fuel pressure regulator is bad.

Here is a good link to check that
