I'm currently stuck at school. I went outside this morning to head off to school and when i started the car, i thought i was good to go. However, as soon as a put the car in reverse, it died. I put it back into park and tried starting it again. I can get it to crank, but not restart. And after cranking for a bit, it seems to slow down just a tad but never starts up. I checked the hose in the back of the fuel pressure regulator and smelled fuel. Ended up having my cousin drive me to school.

I know to check for spark and timing belt. Anything else? Anyone had a car that died after putting it into reverse?

I got a friend to take me home early. Tested the following:

-Spark (got that and its good)
-Fuel (fuel was in the cyclinder that i checked could smell it and see it coming out as fumes)
-Fuel pumps (i can hear them running when and after i crank)
-Timing belt (its in good condition)
-Fuel pump relays (used both the old one and a new one, no change)

Also checked the fuses and hoses and i found no air leaks.

Still NO start, only cranking

Any other things to check??

I would look at the neutral safety switch.

baseline, check everything. cold weather, stuff happens. cold be relays, flooded, ice in fuel lines, etc., etc.
