The car will start and when you accelerate it sputters and shuts off. Sometimes it will drive but has gas smell. When I turn on the air conditioner the car shuts off immediately.

Pull the spark plugs and see if you have one plug or more that are very wet with fuel. if so check for a good spark at those cylinders, if this is okay, check for a leaking injector. start here.
