95 corvette engine troubles
Have a 95 corvette that’s having one engine problem I can’t figure out. Every time I try to start it it won’t start until I crank it twice so I’ll put the key in turn it and it’ll try and start but won’t then I’ll do the same thing again for a little more then it starts right up but after the engine runs for a while and heats up it won’t start at all unless I spray some starting fluid. I’ve changed the fuel pump and the whole fuel Module have yet to change the fuel filter currently replacing the throttle body and fuses have been replaced

Since you have a 95, there are some basic things you can do to check to see what the problem is without just blinding throwing parts at it hoping for the best.
0. Grab yourself the FSM for your car from Rockauto. It's listed in the 'literature' section at the bottom and is roughly $20. It's worth every penny and more.
1. There is a schrader valve on the fuel rail. Connect a fuel pressure gauge to this valve and check your actual fuel pressure reading. It should be around 40 PSI and stable. If it is, then the problem isn't fuel pressure (so not the fuel pump, fuel filter, or fuel pressure regulator).
2. Grab a USB to ALDL cable from ( http://aldlcable.com/products/aldlobd2u.asp ) and the free software EEHack from ( http://fbodytech.com/eehack-2/download-eehack/ ). This will allow you to connect to your car's computer and watch live data, as well as pull all error codes stored (even codes that don't turn the check engine light on). Being able to see all the sensor feedback on the car may help pinpoint what system is causing your issues.
If fuel pressure ends up the issue, also check the fuel pump relay, as without that working, you're not gonna get anything.
Also, where in California?
