Angry Fuel Pump Issue?

Driving my 93 Del Sol to school just few minutes ago. Running smooth as can be. Pulled into a parking space, turned the car off, realized it was for staff only. Tried to turn the car back on, but it wouldn't kick in, starter kept turning. Plenty of electrical power and a full tank of gas.

The air smelled a little rich when I tried to restart it, and I don't want to burn the starter. Any quick ideas on what it could be? Is the line flooded, or a possible fuel pump problem? Like I said, car runs very smoothly, just not sure why it won't start...

Any help would be great, I am in class right now!

when you let it sit does it start up fine? Is this your del sol? My guess would be the main relay. Can you hear the fuel pump turn on when you turn the car to the II postion?

Well, it started up after sitting for awhile...fuel pump is engaging.. Got home and turned it off, then tried to turn it back on, did the same thing. Let it sit for a minute or two and it started. Let me know what you all think please!

Just want to take care of the problem before anything major happens.
