I have a 1988 chevy corsica with the 2.8L V6. Belive it or not this car has only 37200 miles on it. It sat and did not run for two maybe three years.The problem with this car is it will start then dies after about two seconds. On 3/06/09, I replaced the fuel pump because it had low fuel pressure when KOEO. Now the pressure is arount 40 psi. Also on 3/01/09, I replaced the crank sensor. It always starts then dies. Sometimes (If i'm lucky it will run for about 10 seconds very rough)

Check to make sure there isn't an intake vacuum leak. They are somewhat common on this engine. Especially if it sat. Also, make sure the catylatic converter isn't plugged.
