Doesn't it throw a trouble code to the Check Engine Light (CEL)? Is the CEL bulb good? Some 'minor' codes don't turn on the CEL but still put a trouble code in the memory. Try downloading any stored codes from the terminal (under the steering column). Search the web for how to get the code that way and for the list of codes/problems.

There is so much to be absorbed, a YouTube video showing what CEL is, the method of retrieving codes, the eyeball checks like fuel squirting out of injectors... First find and replace the fuel filter. Again, YouTube. Fuel pressure check. YouTube. I am not saying go there instead, but this stuff is easier learned with videos than straight text. There is this thread that points you to good sites. It is an 82 and 84 only motor. So you can also get info in C4 section. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...solutions.html
