Won’t crank

2002 Porsche Boxster 986. Started getting a fuel smell through the vents. The next day it will not start. I have a ignition switch coming and it will be replaced end of the week. I was going to check the fuse in the immobilizer, check the relay, check voltage going to the fuel pump before I order one. Any other ideas I’m missing. The fuel smell from the vents is while in motion not a smell just from sitting around.

Only codes are P1128 and P1130

Codes indicate that one or more of the following is happening:

-Incorrect MAF signal
-fuel pressure too high
-injector leaking
-EVAP cannister purge valve stuck open

I will have to look those up. How do you check them. And would it make it not crank as well?

You need to do some online searching, each has its own diagnostic tree..............
