when the car died earlier after refueling and i tried to start it it sorta started for a second then died. the next 3 times that i turned the key after that it would crank but not start and i smelled an assload of fuel but it kinda smelled like paint

Does your stutter happen right when you start it up completely cold or after it has warmed up?

the stutter will happen after i've been driving around for a while but i'm a driver for chanellos right now and if the problem was the car being hot it should of done this a long time ago or just about everyday cuz i'm always driving.
