Question
my 94 Z28 automatic stalled and it wont start.  it turns over and will not start up.  it almost starts but just chugs for a few seconds and dies.  I can hear the fuel pump when i turn the key on.  What could be the problem?  

Answer
You need to hook up a fuel psi guage to the schraeder valve to verify you have 43 psi and that its not dropping off when the car starts.

You also need to verify you have spark. You can pull a spark plug and ground it to the heads and get someone to start the car while you hold the plug to the car to verify you have spark.

If no spark its either the coil or opti. If poor fuel psi its either the fuel pump or a clogged fuel filter.

Sorry for the late response. I was out of town.
