... Are you on the OEM battery?

And did you have the 3 long crank attempts like mine (2nd video shows all of the startups)

no every crank is like that and also my needle doesn't sweep.

Check your spark plugs? It does sound like it's not firing on all cylinders at times. If a plug has gone bad this would explain the rich fuel smell.

Wellllllll... There have been reports of bad coil packs and bad connections to the coil packs and such, and I WOULD check them, but for me at this stage of my car's life, the bítch is under warranty, dealer should be taking care of it... I just think they've been lazy. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow. And I think if it ever starts up again on 4 cylinders, I'm just going to drive it like that until it breaks.
