Smell gradually happens as car heats up. I have to wait for the car to cool down for it to start again, it will try to crank but no luck until it has cooled. Yes I have not seen any sparks. I replaced the fuel pump sensor on the passenger side ( in middle) fuse box inside the car.

Oh so you replaced the fuel pump relay.I was asking if the engine had spark when it didn't start?Also does the radiator fan work with the a/c on if the a/c works?
