Did all the problems start at the same time?

If the fuel pump does not come on how are you getting fuel to smell?

Make sure you find out where the fuel smell is coming from before you do any further electrical troubleshooting.

By "s light" do you mean the green 'Sport' light in the bottom right of the instrument panel? It is activated by the thumb push button switch on the shift column? It is located below the 'shift release button' on the left side of the shifter. It changes the RPM points at which the transmission up-shifts when you floor it. It should not be flashing. That light has nothing to do with the fuel system.

If the Check Engine light stays on and you do not smell gas try disconnecting a battery cable for a few seconds to reset the ECM (computer) error codes. You have two separate problems here. With luck that will fix the s light.

Here are some links that will get you started searching for answers. Jim
