Weird Starting Issue

Basically, my car has an intermittent starting issue. Seemingly at random, i'll come out to my car and try to start it, it will then immediately fire and run for a second and then shut off. After this no amount of cranking will make it try to run. The only options for getting it to run is to wait a few hours or more or bump start it.

So far i've replaced the plugs, Every time it refuses to start I alternate between full throttle and no throttle to try to start it, but nothing seems to work. I've also checked to make sure the plugs spark and I can definitely smell fuel out of the exhaust.

Any suggestions?

Forgot to mention the car had electrical issues and seems to run rich. Grab a new stock ECU and see where it leaves me?
