Default 2004 Stratus 2.7 not starting

I just replaced the water pump on a 2004 2.7 liter stratus. It sat for about a month before I got the time do it and now it will not start. The motor will turn over and I can smell gas coming out of the exhaust. It is also firng on all cylinders. I've tracked down all wires to make sure I plugged all them back in. Someone please help I'm aboout ready to take this car to the scrap yard.

Welcome to DF
Did you know if the timing is set up right? because if the chain is off, the engine may not start. If you need a picture on how the timing chain is set up. Let me know.
