Unhappy 1994 z28 starting problem

So the other day I was driving my z28, and all of a sudden it died out of no where. So after having it towed back I began to look at it and couldn't find anything! So I tried starting it and it tried to crank over but It wouldn't! So I thought it was the ignition control module or the ignition coil so I took both of them out and had them tested! They tested fine! So after putting it all back together I tried it once more, just in case! But I for got to plug in the wire from the distributor into the ignition coil, the only way I noticed was the spark I saw coming from the wire. So once I plugged that in I tried to start it and it worked! But about 20 seconds in it died and hasnt started since and I removed the wire to see if it was still sparking and it was not! What could it be... Help

Check the ignition fuse under the hood.

Check the fuel pressure with key on, engine off to eliminate a fuel pump related problem.
