You do want to keep secrets, do you? Does not help - if help asked. Tell now all symptoms, car history...

20sec start is an real problem indication. Gas smell added, time for repair. With this info I would think one or more injectors leaking: anyways the gas is not ignited and comes through raw. If this is the reason, only way is to replace worn injectors, ...costly.

Bad ignition? Anyways, do this first: Change plugs, NGK. Cracked coils? (you may take off, clean the coils with electronics cleaner, add insulation -electronics high voltage laqcuer, self vulcanizing rubber tape) or just buy all new.
For quick coil tst: wrap coils into some dry cloth.
