Default 1986 Not running

So yesterday I was going to move my Corvette out of the garage so I can safely get some larger totes up in the attic. It's been covered up and on a battery tender for the past 3 months. It turns over and starts right up, but the engine doesn't turn on and nor does it idle. Everything else in the car works just fine, but there's also this fan blower noise almost like when the car has its air conditioning on. Any ideas? There's also a code that comes up on the screen that says service engine soon. The car is in Immaculate condition has under 13,000 original miles and has been taken care of a very well, prime example for a ncrs judged car. I called one of my fellow local Corvette club members who regularly works on Corvettes and he said he would be able to come pick it up in a few weeks to take a look at it on his lift.

Fuel Pump Running ?. On my 85 it was the oil pressure sensor switch not making full contact. Pump only ran to charge the system.

Pull the code.
