Intermittent starting issues
I have a 2002 Coupe that may or may not start. This started a few weeks ago, got in the vette one day and it would crank but not start. Hit it with some starting fluid and it started but for about a minute ran very rough. Drove it for a week and twice coming to idle it just stalled but started back up. Few days later it again would crank but not start. Later in the day it started just fine. It's a 50/50 shot if it starts.

Good possibility that the fuel pressure is not up to snuff and the car will crank but not run. You can measure fuel pressure and it should be around 58lbs with the key in the ON position as well as once the car starts.running rough and stalling though sounds like it is starving for fuel though and more like a filter issue...at least thats a cheap place to start
