fuel pump relay, fuel filter, make sure you have gas, make sure it has proper voltage to run the fuel pump.

Re: 1988 camaro

try kicking the bottom of the gas tank or hitting it with a hammer/mallet. You may be able to get the fuel pump to work again. Might not be for long, but it'd be long enough to see if the engine will start
