It does smell like gas when it cranks. I had the battery checked and it was a little low, so I had autozone re-charge it. I am thinking it could be the starter or fuel injectors? I checked my timing belt yesterday and it seems to be in fairly good condition. I bought this rex about 5 month's ago from this chick who did not take care of it. So it's in pretty bad shape, but ran fine with a slight ticking. And just recently died, so I guess i'll check the starter next, any other ideas? Thanks guys.
