Engine doesn't want to start sometimes
Most of the time I get in and it starts right up. But about once a day, it won't start. It will crank and crank, about a min later it will start up. As soon as it starts, its fine and drives good. It has spark and smells like fuel. I'm thinking some kind of senor. I've looked around for an answer, but haven't found any.

hm. check all of your spark plug connections. when things heat up, they expand and when they are cold, they contract. after the car is warmed up the connections will be on point, but once cooled off, they might be just far enough away to not start.
I had this issue before and I changed the plugs and wires, and never had the issue again, so I guess that wouldn't be hard to try.
