any codes?

it's probably the distributor.....if you've got one that's known to work, try swapping coil, igniter, or the whole unit to try and narrow it down

You can't use that method to test that. They have to be WET. Anything part that has gas going near it, will smell like gas.

I bet it's your main relay. Swap it out.
