No Start!



Someone should be able to help me with this one!!!
 
Before I take it to the mechanics, I wanna try to solve this predicament on my own.
 
Motor: 1.8l 8V JH.
 
Problem: The car will crank/turn over but it won't catch. The battery, alt. and starter are new. The fuel pump and filter were replaced about a year ago. The spark plugs, wires, distributor and rotor are brand new (maybe 1000kms on them). there's gas in the gas tank and oil in the motor. Now what do I check?  I can smell fuel after I start the car and it won't catch when it's cold or warm.  The fuel pump is one when I turn the ignition and that's about all I can describe about what's happening. Any suggestions or ideas? Ignition module? coil? O2 sensor box? ANything?
 
TIA
