The motor was not smelling gas at all during all the process. Do not forget
that my ISCU module is not working and I am playing with the throttle gas
when I am trying to start my engine.

cold. I drove for about 40 miles and stopped the van for 20 minutes. When I
tried to restart it, no way. The starter was working but the motor didn`t
want to fire. After many tries when the battery starting to died, I
succeeded to restart it. The motor was running great as usual. After that, I
drove for 10 miles and stopped for breakfest. The same story happened when I
tried to leave from the restaurant parking lot.
