should be either on the driver's side of the dash or in the engine fuse panel, check all with a test light to both sides of the fuses.

Please write more info. Does any engine lights come on? Does your car try to turn over? Any info would help. Could be a lot of different things. Thanks...

Did you have spark or not, i couldnt under stand what you were trying to say.

Just becasue you smell gas doesnt mean the presure is high enough to start the car. You need to go to the parts store and buy a fuel presure test gauge. You screw it in the shard valve (looks like the valve you put air in your tire with) that is located right behind your intake. Turn the car on and off a few times, and watch the gauge as you crank the car over. The gauge should be over like 38 lbs's

Time for a tow truck. Parts are expensive and replacing parts that are not bad will eat up your budget. Could be one of several things causing this, ignition module on the front of the engine maybe.
