Hello i am a owner of a 1986 c4 corvette. This corvette was a car that sat for quite some time ( during winter months ) in michigan. It now has a crank but no start issue. Wondering if anyone has any helpful tips. I did notice the connection to the starter housing as being extremely hot and almost a cherry red when ignition is being turned over. Since i have replaced the entire starter unit. I have replaced the fuel pump, and fuel pump filter. I have also done 6/8 spark plugs and wires as the #8 spark plug especially is hard to get to with the exhaust in the way. Here i have a photo of the car symptoms. I did originally spray starter fluid in the car it started but then immediately stalled out! This is a vehicle i was able to pick up for a bargain. It has run before with no problems besides a misfire at that time. That i could notice myself. But I am not a certified mechanic ither. I know only the basics.
Crank no start

The '86 has a cold start injector. Make sure that is hooked up properly. Its on the intake manifold drivers side. Looks like fuel injector but a little smaller. Verify fuel pressure at the fuel rail. I believe the fuel line has a filter under the car on the passenger side. If you verify fuel is there than start chasing for spark.

Check your injectors and the fuel pressure regulator. You did open up and blow out the lines? How much fuel pressure you have?
