Angry wont start

so my 1990 gt has been sitting in storage for the last three months. ran fine and started all summer for me. Now when i go to start it it wont start. It cranks over and will start for like 3 seconds and then shut off. Its getting fuel and the compression, spark, and vacuum hoses are all good.

It has always been a cold starter and has a cam and cold air intake but that's it for the mods. could it be the coil maybe?

Help would be appreciated.
