I have a 1989 iroc z28.350 5.7 port injected. After starting the car and running for several minutes the car will not start.I have to let it sit for at least a half hour until it will start again. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Do not wait, do below immediately to determine whether it's a spark or fuel problem.

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Does it crank over or do nothing at all? If nothing check your connection down on the steering colum. I had a bad ground there and it caused mine not to crank over when warmed up
