1997 Holden Commodore 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

My vs commodore series III wont start. Starter motor engages, car seems to turn over but then stalls as if there is no fuel getting to it. No problems prior. Been turned over 3 times before today. In between the last start and the failed attempt I moved an audio amplifier. The positive wire shortes on earth. Dont know if this would have an impact or not. Please help! Thankyou thom

Do below to determine if its fuel or spark issue

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
