Default 82 Starting Problems

I have a Crossfire Injected Vette. I jusy finished going thru the engine and suspension and Finally was able to put key to ignition and hear her roar. Wich of course she did with out hessitence but after statring her a couple of time she will not start any more. I have great spark and my timing is dead on. I even ran compression checks on all the cylinders just in case (130 # + per cylinder). I am now completly frustrated and dont know what to do. Please Help

Hi Physco82, you need compression, spark, fuel, and oxygen to make fire in the combustion chambers, it sounds like you have most of them-sounds like it's not getting fuel. Also you did not mention if the engine is turning over when you hit the key, is it a cranking problem or one of the above? Get back to us, we'll have it runnin' in no time.

Spark, comp, and I'm sure lots of air. Takin' a long shot here, but what about a clogged fuel filter? Ya could have sucked some crap into the last little hole in the filter.
