The car is hard to start especially in the morning when the engine is cool. I need to roll the keys several times and press the accelerator hard. It picks up slowly and gradually balances after 2 minutes- and gasoline starts to smell in the air like there's been a spill on the engine. The check engine light is not on but I have done a full scan already and treated scan results. We also changed the fuel pump, changed the nozzle, changed the ignition starter by the engine. Still hard starting. My mechanic thinks it might be a brain box malfunction
