Default Car wont start AGAIN!

GRRRRR a month or so ago my 92 wouldnt start,i dont everything to it that people on here said to do electrically including replacing alot of parts and than discovered the fuel filter was broken so I assumed that was the prob because after i replaced it,it started right up and has been running fine since, but today like 2 hours ago i pulled away from the gas pump and it died and now will not start ,i checked the fuel rail and the fuel pump is pumping fine.

Any ideas because I really dont want to pay a tow truck 100.00 to bring it to my garage literally 300 feet away but i cant let it sit at the gas station....


If not

1992 Corvette for sale or trade

Probably VATS. My 89 has died twice because of it.

Buy a vats bypass from ecklers not a new ignition. The bypass is only like $30

Good luck
