Default Non Start?

My 4x4 cossie won't start.......any common electrical faults that would cause this?? I think the fuel pump is running because i can smell the fuel!

TIA

If you can smell fuel next check for a spark.
If no spark do the wiggle test on the CPS connector.

Also check the phase sensor wires in the dizzy cause the insulation normaly comes away n the wires short out.
