- Inspect the fuel pump relay operation. The fuel pump should turn ON for 2 seconds when you turn ON the ignition.
- A faulty in-tank fuel pump check valve allows the fuel in the lines to drain back to the tank after the engine stops. See FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - 5.7L CORVETTE article.
- Verify that both fuel injector fuses are not open. An open fuel injector fuse causes 4 injectors and 4 ignition coils not to operate. Inspect the injector circuits and the ignition coil circuits for an intermittent short to ground. Replace the fuse.
- Inspect for incorrect fuel pressure. See FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - 5.7L CORVETTE article.
- Inspect for a restricted fuel filter. See FUEL SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS in BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES - 5.7L CORVETTE article.
- Inspect for a contaminated fuel condition. See ALCOHOL/CONTAMINANTS-IN-FUEL DIAGNOSIS (WITH SPECIAL TOOL) or ALCOHOL/CONTAMINANTS-IN-FUEL DIAGNOSIS WITHOUT SPECIAL TOOL in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - 5.7L CORVETTE article.
