check the C4 parts section or call up one of the vette junkyards (vette2vette, corvette recycling).

Just like any other car, remember that the engine needs air, fuel, spark. Air is pretty much a given unless your TB is stuck closed. Always check the fuel pressure and voltage at the battery and starter.
