Have you checked for gas and spark? Can you hear the fuel pump when you turn on the key? Might be as simple as a fuse or relay.

I checked all fuses inside and out and I smell gas after cranking awile.

Are you getting spark? Basic checks have to be done. Crystal balls don't work this late.

If the Check Engine Light comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), then focus on the distributor. Usually, replacing the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil solves the problem. Be sure to apply a thin, even coat of silicone heat transfer compound to the back of the new ICM.
