Default Rough idle

I have a 94 LT1 corvette with a rough idle. The dealer have change the wires plugs, coils, and distributor. They also told me the injectors all flowed correctly. The car runs great besides the idle. When cold it doesn't shake until the fast idle kicks down. The dealer told me the rought idle is normal. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum :flag

The idle is a common area that tends to be very aggravating. It should be smooth since it is controled by the computer, but there are many variables that effect it.

Your best bet would be to do a search in C4 tech current and archives and you will have find alot of info.

Most questions have been asked multiple times and a search can give answers quicker.

No there is a step by step process for resetting idle. See the menu bar at the top of the page? Click on tols/tech tips, I believe the process is listed there. :cheers:
