Default rough starting

ok so lately my car has been starting really rough. it will sometime start on the 3rd or 4th time i crank it over. but most of the time it takes longer than that. i know its not my coil i have a brand new performance one i put on. and it did this before i put it on so thats not the problem. I pretty sure im getting fuel because i can smell it so i think im not getting a good spark or something. And mods are in the sig. and my timing is bumbed to 14 degrees.
anything would help thx

Default RE: rough starting

If you can get it running I would double check your timing that can cause a poor idle and starting problems. If you can smell fuel you might be getting too much fuel. Is the car fuel injected and does it have a mass air sensor? Your coil may be good but your plugs r wires might be messed up. Hopefully it's something simple. I'm sure you'll figure it out. Good luck.
