It will start and run fine but after it is shut down it will not start and you can smell fuel. Wait a few hours and it will start again.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well that a lot more information. That said I guess you could have a Rabbit, jetta, etc, or dasher if in the USA. Really the only way to diagnosis the problem is get a fuel gauge and start checking pressures. But usually a hot start problems means the FI system isn't holding pressure when the engine is off. Your repair manual should guide through in checking FI pressures.

The Bentley repair manual covers the basic tests. Just checking for bad injectors does not neccessarily require a presurre guage but it does require a few tools, a manual to explain the procedure, a few good fire extinguishers, Loctite, bottles, new injector o-rings and possibly new injectors.
