i have a 92 c4 corvette and it been giving me a problem lately where the car will just randomly turn off ill loose the power steering and the power breaks then when i try to start it it will only crank and crank. I've replaced the optispark , the fuel filter and the fuel pump so far as well as the fuel injectors. any ideas as to what could be causing this or if any one has had a similar problem. by the way if i pump the gas it still won't work

What do you mean click the key? Turn the key on and just bump the motor once and then back off for 11 mins? Thanks

The car starts from time to time and starts just fine but after a while will turn off. I can wait 10 minutes and it may start or sometimes I have to wait hours. When I use the key they are no check engine lights everything seems fine. Yet the engine cuts off.

Something like that happened to my 03 when I had a new battery installed. My car would crank and not start. They googled a solution. Click the key and wait 11 minutes. Then click the key and wait another 11 minutes. Click the key and wait another 11 minutes. This reset the memory and the car started. I was flabbergasted, but it worked. Good luck.
