You could have an issue with bad gas clogging your fuel filter clogging an injector you might want to check your fuel regulator pressure see what your fuel rail pressure is see if you have any issues with pressure but it could just be old gas?

    I have a 1996 firebird 3.8 and just replaced the battery and starter. The only sound I'm getting is you hear the starter engage (a thump sound)and the engine won't turn over.
