1998 Cavalier Starting Problem

[trs252]

I have a 1998 Cavalier that was running great yesterday, now it wont start. The digital odometer and all the other idiot lights on the dash went blank and the engine will crank but not start. The engine will make an attempt to run for about 2 seconds, then die. I can hear the fuel pump running and smell the gas when I am under the hood and cranking the engine. I have spark at the coil and plugs. Can anyone help, please?

I found the problem. A 10 Amp fuse was blown that controlled the gauges/ignition.
