Car cranks but will not start

My 91 TBI will crank but will not turnover. It is getting fuel and right before this happened the car started to run very rough almost like one of the plug wires were disconnected ( they are all connected). The exhaust also had a raw fuel smell to it just prior to the car no longer starting. The last thing I noticed was I would have to push the accelerater to keep the car running while the above described symptoms were occuring ( eventually the car stalled and would not turnover again). Any ideas?

Re: Car cranks but will not start

I pulled one wire and it looks like it is getting spark ( not sure if that is the best way to check). I also have had a problem with the battery draining if i let the car sit for a few days at which time I have to hook it up to the charger.
