IT IS LOOKS LIKE A FUEL PRESSURE LEAKING INSIDE THE ENGINE OR DEFECTIVE FUEL INJECTOR LEAKING . TRY DISCONNECTING THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. AND CRANK THE ENGINE IF ALWAYS CRANK WITH OUT OF FUEL (CRANK WITHOUT START) YOU HAVE FUEL LEAK INSIDE THE ENGINE
REMOVE THE INJECTORS RAIL UP EVERYTHING CONNECTED,PUT BACK THE FUEL PUMP RELAY TURN THE SWITCH ON AND FIND WICH ONE IS LEAKING. (GASOLINE IS FLAMMABLE TAKE CARE)
Are you certain it's getting gas, does it smell flooded? Pull one of the plugs, see if its wet after cranking. Ground plug and check for spark, if no spark, problem could be crank sensor or coil packs.
it may be your fuel pump, take off your air cleaner and pump the gas with the engine off and see if you smell or see gas, then try it with someone turning the engine over and see if u can smell or see gas, if not your pump is probably shot
If you smell fuel in the exhaust, then you can assume the fuel pump is working. Spark at the coil is fine but do you have spark to the plugs? It sounds like you have an older car with a cap and rotor. You might have a bad cap or rotor. It might just be flooded, in which case pulling and cleaning the spark plugs would help.
SMELL LIKE FLOODING BUT CHECK AROUND FOR FUEL LEAKS UNDER THE HOOD AROUND ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHERE FUEL LINES ARE AND CHECK UNDER THE VECHICLE FROM FRONT TO THE BACK WHERE FUEL LINES GOES TO FUEL TANK.LOOK FOR GAS DRIPPING.BEST TO SCAN VECHICLE WITH A SCANNER.MANY THINGS WILL KEEP IT FROM CRANKING UP.CHECK IGNITION FUSE MAKE SURE COIL GETTING POWER.IF ALL IS GOOD YOU REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES HAVE VECHICLE THAT WAY YOU WONT SPEND A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY BUYING A LOT OF NEW PARTS.
check to see if getting fuel or if you smell gas when cranking if you smell gas you probably have a spark problem which will probably be a coil and or a pickup coil in your distributor replace coil and then distributor. If you are not getting gas most likely fuel pump in tank see if it will fire on starting fluid then replace fuel pump good luck
lets forget about the items you replaced.This sounds like a differnt problem;1the reason you get the gas smell is because the engine is not fireing and gas is is waiting about in the cyclenders waiting to fire: my main suspect in this case would be battery/alternator;; if your air filter is ok.? try jump starting the car if this successful then its a battery/alternator problem.hope this helps.adrian
