The car is a Contour GL 4 cyl with 164,000 miles and it is not starting. The car will crank but not turn over and it seems that you can make it want to turn over, but it just ends up falling out again. Would a new starter be able to help solve this problem. The smell of gas is noticed when trying to start the car and I have tried jumping it, but it does not help. The batt. is fine so I believe it is not this. A few other ideas I have read are the spark plugs or ignition system.
