Check the injectors both cold and warm engine with a digital volt meter.
Watch the vid´s in FIC´s sticky´s on this site, you´ll get the idea how to check them.

FIC, the one in the videos, fuel injector connection dot com...

But check them first, and call Jon at 770.888.1662 in case you´re not sure.

Check your fuel pressure at the rail and test your coil, also.

If all the above fails check the Control Module, they can do what you are experiencing...WW

check the code nothing came up. havent checked the fuel pressure at the rail. plus the car wont pass smog due to high knox i was told that the egr needs to be replaced. can that also be the problem, my vette is 6 speed and and keeps a steady idle around 1800 and doesnt come down after running the motor.
