There is spark but no smell of fuel. Is the fuel pump electric and could it be working intermittently?
Yes the pump is electric and its located in the fuel tank. If the pump is getting power and ground, and not coming on it needs to be changed. Use only an OEM pump in this vehicle. Don't use an aftermarket pump.

Usually answered in minutes!
I am hesitant to spend money on a new fuel pump when there are a few tests I may be able to do .
What range of Amperage does the fuel pump draw ?
Is it safe to bypass the relay to check the fuel system pressure ?
Is there a port for testing the pressure ?
What would the fuel distribution manifold pressure be ?
These questions I know can be answered by a service manual but that costs even more .
