95 z28 won't start!!! I have a 95 z28 6 speed lt1! Not a every day driver, but let car run for a little while and got to operating temp! Then killed car the car didn't try to start back up until Next day!! Then all the car would do was spin over and over not even trying to start at all!! The motor is completely stock 6 speed with 108000 miles!! If there's any pointers u guys can give me it would be great thanks need additional info let me no thanks guys!! Greatly appriciated!!!
Glad to see how excited you are! Easiest way to check spark is to pull a plug and with the plug wire still on the plug, ground the tip on a bolt on the frame while someone cranks the car over, but make sure you are holding the boot and not the ceramic or especially the metal. Look for a spark, works best a night or in a darker area.
Opti isnt cheap, but very likely to be the cause.

hey just because it has spark doesnt mean its still not the opti, I had spark and the rotor was falling off car wouldnt start. But its always best to start with checking your ICM then your Coil Then to the opti. but if your getting spark that means ICM and coil are still good. Dont be fooled just because you got spark!
