I recently purchased a 1990 Maxima. It has run great for 2 weeks, and overnight it will randomly have a hard time starting, will run rough and you can smell gas. Start it again a few minutes later and everything is OK. Completely mind boggling to me. Any ideas as to what is wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

No problem. I try to be helpful when possible. Funny coincidence is I managed to help another fairly new member with the user name "not a mechanic" with pretty much the same problem your having lol. My guess is an injector but check the fuel hoses 1st being they're pretty much visible. Are you getting a misfire? Listen at the back near the tail pipe and listen for random putt putt sounds but not so close as you dont want to be huffing those fumes lol.
