Won't start changed cap, rotor, cam, and crank, sensors. It has orange spark when it first shut off a month ago. It smelled like old gas when I would try to start it. Also a little rotten egg smell. Like a month before it shut off the fuel gauge stopped working and my husband tried to change heater core. When he put a little gas into the throttle body there is no difference in how it sounds.

Good morning,

You need to test the actual fuel pressure to see if the pump is working.

Also, I would do a compression test to be sure the engine can produce power.

Where did you test for spark? At the spark plug?
