The vehicle will start run for about thirty seconds and shut off. If you leave it sit for a few minutes it will do the same thing over again. After a few times of doing this it won't start it just turns over. You can smell gas like it flooded itself out. It has new gas filters new plug and wires and a new fuel pressure regulator in it. Also a new air filter in it. There is plenty gas in the tank. I'm looking for suggestions of what it could be. Thanks.

When it won't start, check to see if there is spark to the plugs. Also, let me know if the check engine light has come on.
