My 89 Rs Camaro has been sitting for 2 weeks.I had to order a part for the cooling system(mounting bracket). It was running, fine before this. Now it wont start. Like it is starving for feul, has a quarter tank, but just cranks. Can the fuel pump lose its prime, this a throttle body, and I know the fuel pump is expensive, tank has to be dropped etc, how can I troubleshoot this before I go that far?

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
