Default Starting Problem

Just recently my car developed a starting issue. A few nights ago i parked on a steep hill and my car wouldnt start, after a few attempts i got it to start, so i just figured the hill may have caused it. drove it home and around the next day with no issues, then yesterday i park it at my house (flat driveway) and i go out and it wont start at all, the car cranks fine, i know its getting fuel cause i can smell it flooding after a few failed attempts to start. i cant figure out what could possibly be going on, any ideas?

If youre getting fuel and the car is cranking, Id check and see if youre getting spark. Judging by your name you have a 95 firebird. Maybe your opti-spark just took a dump.
