Help please! Turns, but doesnt start. Have fuel and spark... Need ideas!

Hi,
I have a 95 240 that wont start. I searched and didnt find anything close to my problem.

It was running two days ago, but i put it in the garage for some bodywork, and didnt start it those two days.
I did have an issue with the starter (it would click and not turn, so i would have to pump the clutch in while the key was turned to start it.. i assumed the clutch switch) but i always could get it to start.

Now it wont start. It turns right away but just keeps cranking.
When it cranks, it sounds like its about to start (the car kind of shakes a little like how it would when its starting).
I checked all 4 spark plugs and im getting spark.
I can hear the fuel pump priming when i turn the key.
I pulled off the top line from the fuel filter and there is fuel coming out.
I can smell gas from the exhaust and the engine bay.
It is turning strong, it doesnt sound at all like the battery is weak. I tried a jump pack and jump starting.

All my fuses are good (except the 15 one that says 12v.. i took the 15 one from the blower amp and replaced it and nothing, so i put it back)

What am i missing?

I'm thinking that the starter isnt getting enough juice. I'm scared to try and kick start it, because i live up a hill and if i dont get it started i wont be able to put it in my garage (no hood right now, its getting fixed at school).

Thanks in advance!
Zac
