Do you have spark? The smell could be from a bad pressure regulator.

You will need to follow the fuel flow to see where it stops. You may need a fuel pump, or filter. If these are fine you may need a oil sending unit. If this unit goes bad the ignition module will sut off the fuel injectors. Good Luck.

yeah,when you turn the key to the on position the pump should run for like 2-seconds. sounds like maybe fuel pump relay is going bad,check that 1st,if thats it its a pretty cheap fix..

Hey there I had the same problem with my sunfire.. go out and again 20 mins later it would start. It was a problem in the ignition. I got the ignition replaced and it was expensive. over 500$.
