thanks alot, I'm hoping that the fuel pump isn't the problem, but, my diagnostic skills are pretty weak, I'll just for fun throw the symptoms out and see what comes back....

the check engine light has been on and off sporatically for about a month now, and the car is running a bit rough, sometimes, it doesn't start as easily as usual and a few days ago, it wouldn't start for quite a while, and then when it finally did in ran like it wasn't getting enough fuel, and then ultimately, it died. 2 days later, I started it again, and it sputtered like it was short of fuel again, then suddenly, it smoothed out and started running, still a little rough, and the check engine light is still on. even before the check engine light came on, I noticed that frequently when I started the car, I could smell gasoline in the cabin, and it smells like bad gasoline.

the only other thing I can think of is that it seems like this started after the car sat for about 2 months without being started. (I had surgery and couldn't really move around to get to the car)

hopin' for some insight!
