My car does not want to start for some reason,
My battery and everything is working fine, after I try to start it i smell a little gas, What could be causing it not to start?

my car did the same thing. what you riding? how many miles are you workin with? have you recently replaced spark plugs, wires, dizzy cap, rotor? mine was timing hope your's isn't.

Before we can help you figure out what is wrong you need to give us more info. such as do you have spark? you smell fuel so you know you have that.... air filter isnt clogged so you have air, assuming your timing chain didnt jump or break you shoudl have timing..... leaves us with spark to check.... if you do have spark, then it should ignite and you prob lies elsewhere.... if you have no spark, look at coil, cap and rotor and the cam/crank position sensor.... If you have bad plug wires then it shoudl start and just run like crap.... If your plugs are fouled out then you will have spark at the plug wires but not completing the circuit at the plug gap. I am sure there are other sensors to check also but those are the main ones i can think of. Let us know.

if u smell gas after trying to start it you have injector problem, check your injectors
for leaks and check your oil to see if you smell gas in the oil

youre an idiot... if its not starting, and he smells gas (im assuming from exhaust) then there's no problem there. I would first look at if i had spark or not, maybe check the timing, do a thorough ignition tune up, and seafoam it. THEN, i would check to see if you have sufficient fuel pressure or maybe too much... have you been running rich?

Your an idiot for assuming.

We need more info for a diagnosis.

From what you have said, sounds like you have no spark.

Check all of the equipment that deal with ignition. Also check fuses and relays.

If there is no spark then the fuel wont burn. So that maybe the gas smell.

Good luck.

Whoa i know thats not directed at me.

If there is no cranking its the starter.

I forgot to ask if there was anycranking.

Stop acting like kids. Its annoying.
