1990 v6 firebird wont start
it turns over but wont start the battery is good i can hear the fuel pump when i turn the key to on position. its been like this for about 3 months but it has started up 2 times in that period out of maybe 100 times trying to start it. i have also put new spark plugs in as well.

Seems like a lot of guys are having VATS trouble lately, and a problem similar to this... Check to see if you have both spark AND a fuel injector pulse before you do anything else.
