96 corvette starting issue when hot
I have an issue that maybe you guys can help me with. My vette seems to start up just fine when it is cool and sometimes when hot. But sometimes, I will go and start it, it will start then shut off. It will crank over but no start. I will have to let it sit sometimes over night then it starts up again just fine. I have replaced so far the coil, battery, fuel pump. I have not driven it since the fuel pump replacement. I am replacing the starter over the weekend. Has anyone come across this? Thank you

I'd check for fuel in the vacuum line that goes to the fuel pressure regulator on the intake manifold. If there's fuel in the line, the regulator is bad.
The next thing would be to check for spark when it cranks but will not start. Since it only happens when hot, that could mean the ICM is bad.
