1992 TBI engine problems

I have a 92 TBI Camaro, the other day I was driving and the car stalled. I pulled over and tried to start it, but I could not get it to start back up. The first few times it would turn over and run very rough for a few seconds then die. Now it won’t even turn over it will just keep cranking. I almost sure it’s still getting spark, and think its fuel related.....please help? The car only has 70k miles on it and has been well maintained. Thanks for your help in advance.

You might take a look at your throttle positioning sensor. My 92 did the same thing,I checked the codes and thats what came up. After I cleaned it up it worked fine. Good luck.

How hard is it to change the TPS?
