Default Rough Starts

I have a 93' camaro, and for the past couple of weeks if the car sits for a day or so,when i try to crank it, it spits sputters and dies. Then it's almost a pain the *** to get running. It seems like it's fuel related. Any suggestions on possible fixes would be great.

Sounds like a dying fuel pump.

Fuel pumps either work or not. It sounds more like the infamous optispark might be going.

That's also a good possibility. My car started doing that when the optispark was dying also. I've had to replace optisparks about once every 60,000 miles.
