Default Engine won't start

97 LT1, sometimes will start and die in a couple of seconds and then will not start. Has gotten worse in past couple of days.

I have not checked codes, but I can smell the fuel as it turns over. I have replaced the fuel relay under the kick panel and the MAP sensor with no change.

When it started it would hesitate then run fine, and has even backfired a couple of times when it started getting bad.
