HELP me fix my car that will not start please...

I can't get my car running. It ran last week, but started running bad and got bad bad bad gas milage soi parked it now it does not start only cranks. the exhaust smells of gas and the oil had gas in it. I changed the oil, still will not start, I replaced the ignition wires, cap, rotor, plugs, oil, filter, oil filter, fuel filter, fuel pump, tps, new injectors, o-rings, gaskets and the little weird diaphram valve in the throttle body checked my vob key, everything checks out, I'm getting really good spark, and its getting gas, (I think way to much gas) any ideas? It ran great a couple of weeks ago, until recently when it started to studder when accelerating, or revving.

As you can see, I have replaced a couple things on the car, I'm pretty sure there's something little, maybe eletrical thing, thats holding me back, I can feel that I'm THISSSSS CLOSE!

Did you check the TPS?
Put a ohm meter on it and check it for dead spots.

Try changing out the O2 sensor. When my O2 sensor went bad the car ran bad and you could smell the raw gas out the exhaust.

That doesnt explain gas in the oil, though. I think that's the key symptom.

Fuel in oil would tell say you likely have blown piston rings or a blown head gasket. Check the compression in all cylinders, I'm willing to bet you have at least one dead one. Just a thought and a compression check shouldn't be too bad to do.
