Default Car will not start

When i turn the key the motor cranks but does not start.
The main relay does work
I smell fuel....so i know i have no fuel delivery
when i pull the #1 plug I get a spark every 4 revolutions
I can hear the starter engaging the flywheel and also see the crank pulley and cam pulley turn
It has a brand new distributor cap and main relay
Btw it is a d15b2

Please help I'm at wits end

does it feel like it wants to start but doesnt stay running? - ignition switch
do all dash warning lights appear when the key is turned to ON position?

Also replace ignition rotor & coil.

Also replace ignition rotor & coil.

all the dash lights turn on when the switch is put in the #2 position
most of the time its just the starter turning the motor but i just got it to run as long as the starter was cranking

ignition rotor?....its only 2 months old and the cap is 2 maybe 4 days old
