Default Vette is in the shop.....@%@%!

Yep went into the shop yesterday. Expensive shop but at least I can trust them (best friends dads shop). Vette was missing really bad at all speeds and idle. I changed the plugs and it only misses from Idle to about 1500 rpm. After that it winds out fine. It only misses at low rpm then it takes off. THe check engine light is not turning on and the oil looked fine, nice and clean. I am at a loss and it could be a number of things...soooo into the shop it goes. Damn and I just got that visa paid off! :cry -TK
