my car wont start

its just cranks and cranks and cranks.....i can smell gas when its trying to start (4bbl) so i guess its getting fuel..and i just replaced the ignition module and its still just cranks..maybe its the coil?

i cant think of anything...so if i cant figure it out, its off the shop it goes for some ridiculous bill...

Check all of these Also put a timing light to a plug, any, and see if you have spark. After that make sure that your firing order is correct (if you've changed spark plugs or wires before this started doing it).

And reply with your findings
