Default Poor Idling
I have a 90 vette with automatic transmission and if i am at a stoplight the engine has started to idle funny the volts drop to about ten and the lights dim slightly. And sometimes when I take off it seems sluggish. I run premium gas. Anyone have any suggestions before I go to the dealer and get raped.

First check for any codes. I would then check your fuel pressure. When was the last time you changed the fuel filter? Check the throttle body and IAC for carbon buildup.
