When I try to start my car, I smell gas. What would be the first assumption?

That would tell me you either have a fuel leak, or you have to spark and all the fuel is just sitting in your exhaust and engine.

Check for leaks first, then check if you have spark.

Ignition coils and ICM's are common on these vehicles.
