I purchased my 97 SC4 last October with 61, 000 miles. It has been great up until today. I now have 65,000 and when I went to start it today it started and then died. It started and immediately died 4 times. Then it wouldn't start for about 30 seconds. Pulled key out waited for about a minute while smelling gas. Put key back in and it started right up. It hasn't done it sense. Any ideas what I should look into first?

Thank you in advance for help you may have.

probably an iac problem, needs cleaning, have you changed the fuel filter

same thing happened to my old honda civic, it turned out to be a clogged fuel filter.

idle air control valve-controls your idling during a cold startup. the sensor may have carbon buildup and need cleaning. or it may be as simple as a fuel filter
