Try drying out the spark plugs. If the car starts after that, then you might have a leaky fuel injector. In my opinion, I think they're wet only because you probably were cranking it alot trying to start the car. I would change out the CAS (crank angle sensor) and see if she runs, as the majority of "not starting" cars I worked on was due to this. Hope this helped!

Start then cut off,won't start back smell gas check spark plugs. they were wet

The fuel pump pressurizes the system and circulates fuel past your fuel injectors. A fuel pressure regulator makes sure there is adequate pressure on the line for the injectors to release the proper amount of fuel when they open (rough explanation). The fuel injectors are controlled by the computer, not really the gas pedal. The computer handles everything for the fuel injection. The gas pedal just opens the throttle plate, allowing more air in. More air needs more fuel, more air and fuel = more power. It all happens very, very fast. Anyway, cranking the vehicle will result in fuel being injected into the cylinders. Without it burning off, yes it could accumulate on the spark plugs and they would appear wet. To work properly, the engine needs (basically) air, fuel, spark, and compression. The timing has to be perfect too.
Look up a quick test on the IPDM ECM relay test. You swap the relay for the computer with one for foglights and test to see if it'll start. That ECM relay has been know to rust internally and fail. Swapping with the foglight relay is merely for testing/troubleshooting purposes. If it works, then you should purchase the proper relay.
There could be many other causes, but this one is pretty easy to try.
