I found my car smelt like gas... There is gas on the intake manifold. so....injector o-rings bad maybe?

my vote is on an ignition part. coil pack is a good start. That sounds very much like almost every ignition problem i've ever encountered. my 2 cents.

Have you checked the fuses including the alternator fuse/battery under the hood? I think it's a 90 amp fuse. Beyond that it sounds like an ignition problem, like if you have a flaky resistor module or coil pack.

This would be so much easier to fix if it would die... lol but now it wont! GRR!! I'm sure it will on friday though... It has died the past 2 fridays.. and then on saturday its fine.

I have driven my car every say since saturday, and it has ran fine and didn't die... but after it broke down on friday I didn't do anything to it, and then it magically worked on saturday... WTF would cause it to just not work one day, and magically work the next day!?

check all the grounds and electrical connections in your engine bay and on your solenoid,might have some corrosion built up on them or not a good connection. had a similier problem in a old truck of mine. it would be fine one day but stop or turn hard it would loose connection on one of the grounds and not work. then it sat for a day moved back in place and be fine for a week. but could be many things though ignition or air leak. do some tests. even if its fine now. problem will pop up again. let us know what u find. or if it happens again.

yeah, and or the big seal on the bottom of the injectors, maybe while your driving the leaking fuel finds its way to the vacuum leak?
