My 91 Z28 Will Not fire up after being driven

I need some help I have a 91 camaro z28 5.7L 350 and it will not crank up for about a hour after it has been driven. The engine turns over but it will not fire up. Can anyone offer some advice.

Re: My 91 Z28 Will Not fire up after being driven

by "turns over" do you mean it is cranking good and not starting or is it cranking too slow? cranking too slow i would look at starter heat soak. if it is cranking fine and just wont fire up, check for fuel and spark.

Most likely an ignition problem. Check for spark. Could be a fuel problem, check for that if you have spark.

thats your problem, you need to find out why their is no fuel. check for power to the pump. if there is power but the pump wont turn on, replace your pump. if there is no power, you need to find out where and why there is no power.

Sounds like a bad pump. Happens all too often.
