After car has sat over night or at work for 8 hours car starts with no problems. And while running it runs great and does not shut off while running. However, if I stop the car at the store or etc. it will not start again even after waiting a hour. It has done this in the past but started after 30 minutes to a hour now will not. In order to start I must leave it sit for several hours (5 to 8 hours). The car will crank but smells like fuel terribly. Also it is a clutch and will start when pushed every time. Almost seems like there is no spark or a sensor. Please help. The distributor, plugs, wires, all basics have been checked and no problems noticed there. No check engine light either.

I am aware of that. You are looking for an answer as to why the vehicle will not start , I am merely trying to determine how I can help. I need an answer to my initial question to help! Yes or no?
then , as easy as they are to get to on that , next time it won't start , pull at least 2 of them and see if they are flooded. That may help get you pointed in the right direction.
All plugs n wires are new. Distrubtor is also new. Battery and alternator are also good.
