i got a 88 firebird with a 2.8. It is multi port fuel injection. My car has trouble starting also, the cause lies in the fuel system. I think the fuel pressure regulator is not working correctly. Also, your ecm (brain box) may be malfunctioning or it could be your fuel pump. Clean the spark plugs and crank it over, and check out the spark plugs. See if they are covered in gas/oil/ or even antifreeze. Check to see if you are getting spark. The best $20 you could spend is on a repair manuel for your car.

Try checking your compression. If you don't have enough compression, even though you have spark & fuel, it won't burn or fire off.
