You need to do some testing.
It could be fuel related. Check fuel pressure.
It could be electrical related. Have your local auto parts store test your battery and alternator.
It could be your crankshaft position sensor.
How does it crank? Slowly or quickly? How fast does it start up?

If you are getting a gas smell, it's probably ignition related. If it always starts right back up, I wonder if your ignition switch is becoming intermittent?
