Engine Not Starting

Electrical problem 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 153000 miles

My van will usually start the first time but if I shut it down and try to restart, it cranks but doesn't even try to catch. Had fault codes on all three coil modules. I have already replaced the computer and the coil. Get a pretty strong gas smelll after a failed start, so I know gas is getting through. What should I look at next?

Do you have spark? If not check and test the crankshaft position sensor.

Turns out I have issues with the new computer. Some of the sensors appear crossed. Working on getting an exchange. I put the original computer in with the new coil and things started working right. I will let you know if I still have issues after the exchange.

Thanks!
