Does or did the check engine light come on? When you had the fuel pump hotwired did it or will it - start the motor and run? If yes to first question then have the codes read. Did you check all fuses and relays for the fuel pump.Check fuel pump pressure once you get the fuel pump working.And if you feal the spark is weak then replace the ignition coil, check distributor cap and rotter replace if nesessary.And there is a little discrepency in your add I do not know if I am dealing with a 91 or a 98 chevy? Good Luck and have a good XMASS.

1991 chevy 350 urns over fast but wont start. then another time it will start

Sounds like a stubborn fuel pump. Try a squirt of starter fluid in the intake and see if it fires. If it fires change fuel filter first and try. If it doesn't work change pump.
