'89 vette stalled

I gave it a little extra gas and at next red light it stalled out. I tried not pressing gas pedal but it would not stay running. I tried letting it sit for about 15 minutes. I tried holding gas pedal to floor. I tried taking off and putting back on positive battery cable. It acted like it was flooded but the last time I tried to start it, it would not even connect. Good battery! Brake light was on. I did gas it a little right after starting car before my brakes make this noise, which it has always done, (going from reverse to drive) which I know nothing about. Starter is good also! Only thing I know to try is a spare passkey. It asks like it is not getting any fuel basically, Any help is greatly appreciated as I will have to have it towed by the morning if not started. Thanks!

You got duplicate threads here?

It's tough enough tryin' to solve a problem on a keyboard. Much less when you got the wrench in your hand.

My 90 would do that and more and turned out to be the distributor module.Never died on me,but took a mechanic friend 15 minutes to start when he was out checking fuel pressure.
