2000 3.8. This morning it started with sputtering and the RPMs never came up then died. Numerous tries after this resulted in no starting at all. Same thing happened about 2 weeks ago. It had a strong gas smell as if flooded but after a few minutes it fired up and had done fine since then until this morning. I didn't have the time to keep messing with it this morning. Fuel pump? I do make sure I hear it prime up and then stop though.
Thoughts?

Change your plugs and I changed my icm and it started right up. I just had the same problem Sat. I was told since its winter time I wasn't letting my car idle long enough in the chicago winter.

Tried to start her when I got home from work and she started up. Guess I'll see if she acts up again soon.
