My 1989 Chevrolet Corvette sometimes has a problem starting, what could this be?

Source: Yahoo! Answers

I have a 1989 Chevrolet Corvette with 67,000 miles. It sometimes has an issue starting up. It will turn over and immediately die. It usually takes a few more attempts and it will start up fine. It doesn't happen all time. I just replaced the fuel injectors and did a tune up... Read More

For more than a decade, the Corvette's arch nemesis has been the Dodge Viper. The ultimate Dodge boasts an 8.4-liter V-10 engine pumping out an even 600 horsepower.

Unlike years past, in 2009 there's a new competitor: the formidable Nissan GT-R. With 480 horsepower backed by an all-wheel-drive system and sophisticated electronics, the GT-R has proven itself worthy.
