    1995 honda civic won't start, it turns over fine
    This morning I got into my 1995 Honda Civic EX 5-speed to go to work. I started it up (normal length) and it ran for about 1-2 seconds and shut off. I started it up again and it just cranked and cranked. I thought the starter sounded a little different than normal after the original startup. Batteries aren't the culprit, the car starts to smell like gasoline if you crank it for a little bit, all the belts were recently replaced, oil's good, has 174k miles; first 'broken down' problem I've ever had. My father in law was thinking it could either be the fuel injector or maybe a crank sensor or something...
    Any ideas?
