my car wont start. the batery has plenty of juce and is turning the starter just fine but it wont start. we pulled the plugs and it smells like gass to i think its getting gas. then we put the plug into the coil and turned the key, there was no spark. so what do i do next, what could be causing this? any ideas are welcome.

I just had the same problem with a 3.2 swap. All new sensors but same problem you are having. Red 413 DME 9/94 build date. Check this, pull your ECU, on mine there was a security "chip" that was installed between the actual chip and the ECU. Looks like the actual chip only wider and green like the DME board. Pull your actual chip, then pull the security chip the same way. Reinstall chip. I hope this helps. This was my problem. PM mail me if you need a picture and I'll get one in the morning.
