87 Trans am won't fire
Hey guys so I need a little help here. I can't seem to get my car started, 87 trans am 305 tpi. The engine cranks over but just won't fire. I got fuel coming up at the rack so I know it's not the fuel pump and I removed spark plugs there still good with lots of contact left I changed them not long ago. I am thinking either my ignition coil, spark plug wires(even though they looked alright) or it's my old immobiliser which is bypassed by a push button start.
