that would be my starting point also. Autozone test the ICM for free after you remove it. Next would be to check the fuel pressure with a gauge.
why me?

why me?
Its 90 degrees outside, ready to meet some friends for lunch, when I stop somewhere first. Come back, and while backing up,my Vette stalls. No biggie, but then it won't start. It will turn over, but thats it. Starts about 10 minutes later, enough for me to pull back into a parking spot. Then it won't start again. Just got it home, thanks AAA, got it started enough to back it away from the truck. But 1 minute later, when I wanted to start it again to back it into its parking spot in my driveway, no way.
Whats wrong with this car now?

Check to see if there are any codes set. While trying to start it, determine what is missing, air, spark, fuel, or compression. It will either be spark or fuel. I'm guessing fuel. Not to over state the obvious, but is there gas in it?

Strange...I had the same problem. Not quite as bad, but some major missing and shuddering when she got hot...>200 deg.
I had a spare coil on the shelf and just for grins I replaced it tonight...solved that problem!

There is no, "engine is "running" signal" to the fuel pump. The fuel pump is powered to run when it is supposed to by the ECM. In the case of a fuel pump relay failure, the oil pressure switch will power the fuel pump.
It wouldn't be the first time. It wasn't the main point of my post. I did say, "Not to over state the obvious,". I have heard of "no start" service calls being made, when the problem was nothing more than the auto trans not being in neutral or park.

Hey everyone, got a simple question. Where is this ICM located?
(I know _twisted_ you had an extra) but they are pretty cheap at Auto Zone and my husband told me to just grab one, but, we can't seem to find where its located, or, are we looking in all the wrong places.
