Default Help!!! Problem Starting car!!!

hey thanks to anyone that can help but i have a problem with my 1994 trans am and its that she will not start. Its a 1994 pontiac trans am with all the regular bolt ons..... long tubes, exhaust , intake, knock sensor, all air and egr deleted. The opti went out a year ago and i bought a non vented being its a 94. when i got the old one off i found that the one that was on the car was vented. So i still installed the non vented anyway and the car started fine. Its only gotten 50 miles since that opti because she sits in storage all the time. I checked the plugs and wires and their fine and the fuel pump is fine. whenever i can get the car to start it runs real rough till it gets warmed up and then its fine but recently i just cant get it to start. IM guessing maybe the coil but im unsure. Please help. Thanks Dave

It's hard to tell right of the bat. So it cranks good, spins the belts fast? I would check for vacuum leaks. Like unplugged holes from the !EGR and !AIR.
