Ran great about a week after replacing battery. Then today it will crank over and act like it wanted to fire but not. I hear the fuel pump run, fuel up to the rail. I smell fuel. Try pedal to floor, replace MAP sensor and check all fuses are okay. The only thing new is we had a week below zero. Vehicle is parked in a garage.
Need help fast wife's car and it's all my fault.

Hi,

If you smell fuel, chances are there is no ignition spark to the plugs. Have you checked? Also, if you remove a couple of the spark plugs, are they wet?

Take a look through this link and check to see if there is spark to the plugs:

Also, let me know if you have a live data scan tool. If you do, check to see if there is an RPM signal when the engine is cranking.

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
