Default crank but not starting

Ok so here's what happened, turned off car went to eat came back out, not starting. I got a check engine light for misfire in cylinder 3. Cranks but wont start and I have no idea what to do.

Here's what I replaced trying to get it to work:
Cap n rotor
Ignition control module
Ignition coil
Main relay
Spark plugs

Im running out of things to replace, its like its not getting gas but I smell gas in the throttle body and hear the fuel pump prime? Any help would be nice

did u check to see if you were getting spark thru the wires and to the plugs, you could have a faulty dizzy.

Check for spark and fuel.

Back to the basics check of spark. Crank engine then pull plugs and check if they are wet with fuel. If you have those check for compression.
