Default Hard start when cold, gas smell.

So this started about a week after i ghad a check engine light come up, checked the read out ssaid emmisions service required. So i went and got the codes pulled and it said missfire in cylinder 1, thats it. So i cleared the codes the check engine light didn't come back then it came back, then it turned itself off.

So the last couple days the car has been hard to start when its cold. Then once its running you can smell gass. Smells like its coming from under the car right behind the motor. I'm going to continue looking for answers on my own, but if someone has insite that would be great.

Thats exactly what it ended up being and now i'm fighting with volvo to get it fixed. I find it odd that something that is such a safety concern that they are overlooking it. And funny that they are the safe car company. I contacted the local news paper about itand they are certainly interested.
