Unhappy help, car won't start

hi sorry for the silly question, if it is silly but here goes. i recently bought a salvaged '90 na rx7 and i can't get it to start. when i turn the ignition it starts to smell like there is a gas leak. also the fuel gauge goes from F to E when i try to start it but i checked the tank before and after and it was full. someone told me that there is a fuel switch or something in the engine bay but i can't find anything that resembles that. could someone help. i have tried searching the forum but haven't come across anything that resembles this.




thank you!

Welcome to floodedville as well as the forum. Pull the EGI fuse under the hood, crank for a while, replace fuse, start. Although if it's severe enough you might have to pull the plugs to clear the chambers.

Cheers
