Did you look on the side of the dash on the pass side?

Base C4 with L98 has a 10 amp fuse bottom row right side of the main fuse box.

Hello, yes I took the fuse door panel off and checked all fuses and they were good. I also printed out a Pic from the net to use as a guide.
Thank you.

I put my reading glasses on just to be sure. I did not see one that said " Fuel " nor said " Fuel Pump " or anything that was close to Fuel. I ran out of daylight I will check tomorrow. Does the Fuel Pump draw 10 Amps? I thought it would think it would be 20 or 25.

I checked the spark plug firing order and it is correct. I took # 1 plug out and it was black carbon solid. I checked on the net and it said that it was lacking Oxygen. The Air Cleaner was nasty. I tried starting it without the Cleaner and it wound fire off but went dead. My next step is to check everything the shops said they did and I will have my peace of mind that everything is really done. Hey guys Thanks for all your input, it is nice to talk to someone that is on my side for support.

It is marked FP1 on mine.
I assume since you said it's a 91 base you have an l-98. If you have one with engine code J there is another fuse in the aux. fuse box under the kick panel on the pass. side.

Default Fuse for Fuel Pump location

1991 Vette C4 Base
Hello experts I have a pic of my fuse block. I need to find out where the fuse(s) is on the car.
I just went and turned the key on and listen for the Fuel Pump to click and did not here it. I turned the key and the car started up and it turned right off.

Yes I did. The fuse is from the right bottom 1 row to the left and two up 10amp.

What could cause the car to start up and shut down? To me it is starving for gas because it turns on and turns right off. We have replaced the Oxygen sensor, plugs, wires and distributor. Isn't there a throttle positioner that would cause the car to act like that?

I really need you guys Input. Thanks in advance.
