1995 LT-1 wont start, help!
my car wont start, i drove it about 10 days ago and noticed a small miss at idle, it did not want to start immediately either. 10 days later and it wont start, i changed plugs, fuel pump and filter. i checked for spark with one of the wires and a plug, it looked like it had a strong spark. it just turns over and over and doesnt try to start... any suggestions, i like the car, should i get a troubleshooting code instrument? help!

If you have spark then that means that you have spark reference to the PCM. Then I would check for fuel pressure at the fuel rail. It should be around 43 to 45 PSI when you first cycle the key on, and during cranking it should be at that same pressure. Perhaps when you installed the pump the fuel line connection inside the pump popped off, the pump will pump but the fuel isn't going to go anywhere.
