Think I would start with cleaning or replacing plugs and make sure all plugs are giving a good spark

wouldn't think you have a relay problem if its turning over, you can smell petrol and have a spark?

Is the battery fully charged?

Clicking is usually battery check battery acid/distiled water level and give your battery an overnight charge and try again .

Hi

Same thing happened with My Galaxy 2.3 LX 2002 few months ago. Turned out to be fuel pump. Ignition the key close the door at a quite time turn the key and listen carefully, if you hear a very brief spray sound, that would be fine if you dont hear the spray sound, that is your fuel pump mate, not very expansive you do it yourself but will cost a fortune in a garage, quite easy to DIY though
