I have a 94 vette with 82000 miles on it.It is stock. It won't start it turns over fine but won't fire. It has been in storage since oct. 08. I put stable and filled it up before storing.Tryed a little starting fluid but nothing. Any suggestion?

No kick at all with fluid?
Back to basics; check for spark and fuel.

Any codes up?

Just for a few suggestions:

Can you hear the fuel pump run when the key is turned on.
Fuel pressure check if you got a gauge.
Check for spark off the coil, and then a plug wire. (1/2 inch ark)
May want to check injector pulse by use of nod light.
Check connectors, make sure nothing is disconnected.
Check for any excessive wetness under water pump. See if opti looks wet or if you lost excessive coolant.

Since it turns over its not VATS.
