stalling
I have an 1988 corvette . Replaced the rad about 2000 Miles ago.. Never overheated but was leaking.. Fluid was very durty when I got this car. Other than that it passed all safety and drive clean ( enviroment test ) Has been running very well ,,, until now.. Drove about 185 km at highway speeds and maybe 2 kms in town traffic. Car sat for about an hour but would not restart , Left it for a few hours and started , but only for a minute , maybe.. It floods , Will restart every 4 or 5 hours but stalls in minutes or less.. Fuel pump checks out good . NO codes showing up.. Temp sensor checks OK also. No hint of any problem before . I have put about 5000 km since owning it this year Any thoughts..It is flooding out ,, not starving for gas

Did you check the spark at a plug wire, or the coil wire?
Also, if the coil is getting weak, you could get some spark when you ground a plug wire, but not in the cyl under compression. Sometimes an issue like yours relates to a failing coil.
