1988 trans am not starting

Hey guy I have a 1988 trans am gta, it runs beautiful until one day it decided to not start, I changed a burnt fuse and it worked just fine for about a week then while I was driving it died as if I ran out of gas but it was almost a full tank. Till today it won't start but it cranks as if it wants to start. Any help guys I need it

Re: 1988 trans am not starting

security light on? getting spark? getting proper fuel? is the fuel pump even running? theres alot of holes with this and if it stays vauge you could be on a wild goose chase

turn the key on, does the fuel pump run? (whining noise)
check your fuel pressure at the schrader valve on the fuel rail, proper psi?
check for spark on no 1 cylinder
if your security light is lit your vats is being a PITA

and what fuse did you change????
