no start problem solved!
I posted several days ago about how my newly purchased '88 coupe would intermittently not start even though it would turn over. the previous owner had spent a lot of money replacing various things trying to fix it. It left me stranded and I had it towed to a dealership. they were able to determine it was a funky ECM. They replaced it and it has never failed to start right up since! I was afraid that it would be a horror problem that would have no remedy. Now that I am "on the road" I will post some pictures and be looking forward to sharing info and vette experiences here with fellow forum members!

I had a 92 that wouldn't start when it was hot. Turned out the ECM on 92s and 93s had a flaw in the mother board that eventually caused a loss of circuitry when it got hot. It would work again after sufficiently cooling down. I replaced the mother board in the ECM and never had the problem again. It sounds similar to the problem you have had. Maybe the problem occurs in lots of C4s.
