cps coolant spill=no start?

I have searched this forum and read about testing the CPS which may be causing my no-start. I have replaced the oil as there was a strong smell of fuel in my old oil. The car almost fires now and does momentarily at times. At one point, a few day ago, it did fire and run well but it wanted to stall at low RPM. At this point, i am starting my car with a can of ether and my fuel relay unplugged to simplify this matter as much possible-spark, fuel(ether) no electronic inputs ie coolant sensor, OVP, EHA out of the equation-purely mechanical.

I did spill some coolant just before my no-start issue arose although it did fire the first time. I have been told by obvious experts that unless the CPS is cracked, there should be no effect from spilled coolant. However, if googling causes of a bad CPS, it does state that spilling of fluids can "corrupt" a CPS-this also comes from reputable sellers of these sensors I believe one is redline.com I did not want to post this thread unless necessary but i cannot get my car to start and to say its frustrating is an understatement!! Any input much appreciated.
