2006 Equinox, no prior issue, died twice after starting today. Had to keep accelerator pedal depressed to start. Let it sit and had same problem once but second time started right up. Any ideas?
Checked gas cap, no prior starting issues, smell of gas outside after I parked the first time, no visible leaks or service lights on.

This sounds like the fuel pressure regulator is leaking fuel into the engine when it sits, it will start as if it were flooded if you try to restart within 20 minutes and it will crank longer when cold because the fuel system needs to prime up. I hope this helps. Take care.
