Default Fuel Delivery question

I have an 87' that at the turn of the key starts right up for only a second or two then turns off, even after I attempt to give it a lil gas. Can anyone help me figure out what I might have to replace or have checked out? The engine is good and only has 45k original miles.

I would also liek to add that it sad parked for a few months and I think a lil rain got into the tank. I would just like to at least know what might be the problem before I take it to the mechanic.

A fuel pressure gauge is a must for these cars. It sounds like very little fuel pressure. Could be pump, strainer or filter or as you stated, there could be water in the tank.

OHM your injectors, I had the same problem with my car. I changed the fuel pump, filter, frp, and finally had to spend the money on injectors. Talk to Jon at FIC Injectors and he can hook you up no problem.
