Default EF wont start

I have a feeling its somewhere along the lines of the coil and/or icm but will be checking that tomorrow. As for now i replaced Spark Plugs, Dizzy cap and rotor, Main Relay, battery and still nothing. Starter is fine.

anyone else can give me some advice?

So it turns over but will not start? Or will it even spin over at all.

yea i hear the fuel pump when i turn the key, and when i crank to start i smell the gas, so i dont think fuel might be an issue, just in case i'll be replacing the filter this afternoon.
