Need Help

was in 2nd gear at about 25 mph wasn't on the gas at all, and all of a sudden it got lopey and was having trouble moving had just enough left to get me on a side ride to stop, all the electronics work (headlights, guages, etc..), and when you turn the key it turns over, but never fires...doesn't seem like it is even making an effort to start up, just the constant cranking noise...checked the map sensor and its fine, smells like gas after cranking it, but not real strong, just fuel getting pushed out while cranking? Any ideas? Ignition system shot? I wasn't in positive pressure, was around a 10 inch vaccum when it died, hadn't just driven hard, and just recently that day it had taken extra cranks to get started...what could be wrong?

mods...dp,hiflow,cb, ic, intake, silicon lines, pfs purple, pfs wires, ngk plugs

what heat range are your plugs? you most likely flooded your engine after you pulled it over, but what were u running when it happened?

Did you check to see if the map sensor popped off? It should start with it off though.

if it's cranking and won't start check your fuses. You could possibly have blown one.
