95 Integra won't run
I bought a '95 LS Integra a couple weeks back. The previous owner said the car started missing a couple weeks before I bought it and it had a bad alternator on it. I towed it to my house and I've been tinkering at it every weekend since. The alternator was indeed bad so I replaced it, but it would only crank and not start. I changed the rotor and the coil pack and now it starts sometimes, but it's struggling. I have to keep the key in a cranking position for a good lil minute for it to start. That's definitely not the way it's supposed to work. When it runs, it runs good enough to keep going no without pressing the gas, but at the same time you can hear it's kinda struggling. When you give it gas, it dies. When you try to start it or if it runs, you can smell raw gasoline emitting from the engine or the driver side. I think it's a fuel issue, but the fuel pump primes. Any ideas anyone? I could really use the help or advice

Re: 95 Integra won't run
Items to check/replace:
Make sure the distributor is clocked correctly
Spark Plugs (Anything other than NGK, replace them)
Spark Plug Wires
Fuel Filter (could be clogging/clogged, if it's high miles just replace it)
Timing (could be off a tooth, but if it actually started missing only a few weeks before he sold it then it's probably not this)
Any DTCs stored?
