Default hard starting and strong gas smell

heres the story, 3.8l manual, when the engine is cold, it starts right up, no problem, and very little cranking at all. but then if i go somewhere after its warmed up and let it sit for a while, unless it has completely cooled down it will crank for 5-6 seconds before starting and then smell very strongly of gas/fuel. i do have a p0442 code, i think thats what it is, the evap emissions circuit malfunction er whatever. why would that affect starting??? thanks
