Sorry, I couldn't remember if your 700 was a "T" or not.

Having eliminated all of the easy stuff, I'd take a good look at the airflow meter and it's connections. You probably know the drill--disconnect the airflow meter wires with the ignition off, and then try and start the car. It doesn't run that well, but if the meter is bad it will run with it disconnected and if you reconnect it (shut off ignition before you do it) it will shut off.

And the crank sensor. They are "supposed to" set a code in the diagnostic unit (so should airflow meter) but you never know what you might get. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.

It could be that the fuel smell is coincidental, but it could point right to the cause. Hard call from 1000 miles away. Good luck.
