I have a 94 vert that will start right up when i havent drivin it in a while, either a day or a month.
If I try to start the car after it has been sitting for about 15-30 min it will not start... I have fire and fuel.......I am getting spark and I pulled the plugs and they are getting fuel(wet and Smelly).
I also tried to spray some starter fluid in the throttle body after putting in fresh plugs and not even a sputter, but I am still getting spark.....
what the HELL is going on???? Is it my timing??? but it runs fine when cold
94 Vert wont fire up!??!?!?(sometimes)

I'd start with a clean slate. Make sure it's in time to start with.
I'll summarize the FSM troubleshooting tactics for this condition. If that doesn't work, then I'll see if I can pull some other tricks out.
The next time it won't start, squeeze the fuel line going to the filter to see if it's building pressure while it's trying to start. If it is, disconnect and plug the vacuum hose going to the fuel pressure regulator. If the engine still won't start, then pull the distributor and disconnect the coil harness. With the ignition on, rotate the drive gear and see if all the injectors click. If they all work, then pull the 10A fuel pump relay fuse in the underhood box and plug the coil back in. Check the plugs to make sure they're getting spark. If they are, check the engine grounds and wiring connections. Clean the grounds for good measure. Put it back together and make sure it's back in time.
If it still won't start, try starting it with the throttle open. If it starts then, it's probably a IACV issue. If not, then you might want to try a different ECU.
Let me know how it goes.

My 92 Vert does the same thing and I have tried all of the above mentioned items. I also replaced the ECU and the MAF but still no luck. I have officially given up and will put the car on Ebay for whatever I can get for it. The bad thing is when it does crank it will run like a new car.
