Chevrolet Repair: FUEL PROBLEMS, advance auto parts, chevy caprice

Question
1986 CHEVY CAPRICE 4.3 LITER V6 I STARTED TO SMELL GAS REALLY STRONG INSIDE MY CAR AND PULLED OVER AND TURNED CAR OFF. THEN TRIED TO START BUT IT WOULDNT. PREVIOUSLY BEFORE I HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT CUTTING OUT WHEN IT WAS MORE THAN ONE FOURTH OF A TANK OF GAS BUT ONCE IT GOT DOWN TO ALMOST EMPTY IT RAN FINE. GOT IT FIXED AND IT WAS THE (MAP)SENSOR AND VACCUMS. SO THE OTHER DAY I REPLACED THE FUEL FILTER, THE PUMP WAS FINE CAUSE I HEARD IT COME ON. THEN I BOUGHT A NEW THROTTLE BODY AND INJECTORS AND PUT IT ON & IT STILL WONT CRANK. I CHECKED THE FUSES AND RELAY BUT I CANT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I NEED HELP CAUSE ITS SITTING IN ANOTHER TOWN AT ADVANCE AUTO PARTS AND ITS BEEN A WEEK. EVER SINCE I GOT SOMEONE TO REPLACE THE HEATER CORE, LIKE 1 DAY BEFORE THIS, ITS BEEN ACTING CRAZY. I CHECKED THE FUEL LINES AND ITS GETTING GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE THROTTLE BODY.  

Answer
Hi Jessica, You need to check for spark at the plugs before you go to far. If there isn't spark at the plugs and you tried to spray carb cleaner into the throttle body and it still doesn't run then you need to look at the dist for your problem. Could have a bad ignition module or pick up coil or main shaft inside the dist.

Hope this helps
