Default 92 seville

I have a 92 Seville that has a problem starting. I took it to a dealer and they said it was a bad pickup coil in distributor, so I bought a whole new distributor put it in and car fired right up. Smoked a little bit from fuel buildup, came right out of it. Drove the car all day starting and shutting it off. Drove like a dream. Car sat overnight came out in the morning and it wouldnt start. Turns over fine just wont start. Can smell fuel so I am pretty sure its getting fuel. Something to do with firing ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Start with the basics. Verify correct, in spec, fuel pressure with a gauge, then check for spark to the plugs, then report back.

Check for codes. Ignition timing? Distributor has to be oriented correctly or injectors will trigger at wrong time. Also check for spark at atleast 2 wires with spark tester. Check grounds at alternator bracket and bracket at starter.
