i have replaced plugs,checked wires,checked fuses,checked cap,havent replaced yet looks fine.my problem is,when i bought it,it ran ok,just a slight hesitation,but no problems starting.now when i go to start it,it turns over,fuel pump is working you can hear it run,it will not fire.if you wait a while it will fire but idle very badly,then die.only last a few seconds running.no smoke,oil is fine,belts are in place.im very confused,its like not getting gas,but you can smell it flood.any one know any thing to try?it seems to be fire problem but every thing i have checked,is ok should run.

Inspect and test the coolant temperature sensor/idle air control valve/throttle position sensor/MAF-to include the fuel pressure.
