Just bought two main relays to make sure and still the same thing. If i keep trying to start the car it sounds like its gonna fire up but then just keeps cranking over.. Please i need this car runing now.. I'm geting spark and fuel because i smell gas after i try startting it and i checked out the spark plugs.. when i check the cel the light stays on the whole time but if i take the clip out the cel goes a way..

check to make sure the main ground wire is hooked up for the battery. I had that problem in my girlfriends car when pepboys changed the clutch, and the only wire that was grounded was the thin wire. That wire gets hot fast and will not crank over the car. As soon as I found the main ground wire was not bolted up I fixed it and haven't had a problem starting since.
