Hi,

When you smell gas, usually either there is a pressure issue or there is no spark to the spark plugs to burn the fuel. With that, the first thing I need you to do is check to see if there is spark to the spark plugs. Here is a link that explains how it is done:

Do that and let me know the results. Also, let me know if you have access to a scan tool.

Take care and let me know your questions.
