Has trouble starting

Hello I am new to the Honda world, I recently bought a 99 Civic Ex coupe and when I try to start it I have to crank it a few times before it rattles and idles high then back to normal. I smell a lot of fuel but im guessing that it os becuase of all the cranking. I have a P0420 code but could that make my car have trouble starting? Any ideas suggestions would be much appreciated 😁
It does this everytime I leave the car for a few hrs then I try to crank and takes long time to start... sometimes I hit the gas peddle a few times and usually helps it start.
