turns over. has spark. can smell raw fuel but wont start. checked diagnostic codes for socket #2 and everything is functioning properly.

also note that warning lights on dash do not come on when key is turned. since all of this is related to ignition switch i replaced that. warning lights worked after replacing but then stopped after turning car over about a half dozen times.

I am completely clueless. i would think it would have to be electrical to lose warning lights same time as not starting.

are there any relays that could be linked to these problems. any ideas on wha tto test or advice would be greatly appreciated.
