1989 corvette convertible, fuel injected
Won't start up again ???? Won't start up again how ? When you turn the key to start ,nothing happens or it does engage the starter an spin the engine over but doesn't start .
SOURCE: car won"t start. starter turns. Happened once before. started after 30-45min.
I would start by banging the bottom of the gas tank while you are cranking it over. If this causes it to start, replace the fuel pump. If it still doesn't start, there is a valve on the fuel rail on the top of the engine (you may have to remove plastic cover). Remove the plastic cap on the valve, and while you have someone cycle the ignition to the run position from the off position, depress the center tab on the valve and see if gas comes out. If it doesn't, replace the fuel pump. If it does, let me know and I will help you further. (note: replace fuel filer at same time.)

I dont know much about corvettes But if the voltage regulator is in the altenator it could be sticking drawing voltage even if the car is not running. Dis connect the plug in overnight and see if it starts in the morning if it does the regulator is sticking shut replace the alternator

SOURCE: 1989 Bronco starts but dies after a couple of seconds
try checking the thermostat control senser. it caused my bronco to start for a second and then die. after a while it would finally start and run for a while then die driving down the road. i changed the thermostat control senser and it fixed all problems of dieing
is it injected try new injectors
SOURCE: my 2004 RX8 won't start
if this car is on the cold start injector when it is defective. Injects additional fuel to the engine is still warm. Is it to feel warm by running more than normal gasoline smell?

Starter is heat soaked. As starters get old parts bind (especially starter solenoid) as engine produces heat. After heat dissipates parts contract and solenoid will engage and starter turns. Most starters have a heat shield but yours may have come off or the starter is just old and failing.
