Just in case, when you checked for spark did you also check for fuel at the plug? I do realize you probably have fuel based on the smelly tailpipe.

Sounds like it is flooding for some reason. First, I'd try flooring it when starting. If a fuel injected engine is flooded, the recommended cure is to floor it when starting and hold the accelerator down for awhile.

Also try pulling the hose off the fuel pressure regulator and check for fuel inside. If so, the FPR is bad.
