Default car started and then died

, well i went out to go to the store and started my car, it ran for about a minute or two while i let it warm up and then it just died. i tried to start it again but it won't turn on, all it does is crank. i checked the plugs and they smelled like gas, so i wiped them off and tried again but still nothing. what could it be?

oh and i noticed that the battery light is on now.

the battery is fine but it just wont start. how do i check for spark? i just changed the plugs and wires and it was running fine but the i started it one day and it just died. i think it is something to do with the spark because i smell fuel when i try and start it.
