Default help s.e.s light is on

my service engine soon light turned on this weekend while i was driving home from a friends house. the car seemed to run alright but it idles a little high and when i am cruising at about 3,000 rpm it seems to stumble a little bit. so i took it to autozone to get the code checked and the scan tool gave an error message while linking so i tried to hook up my hypertech too see if that worked and the same thing happned. i tihnk that my computer might be spanked. if some one could help me that would be great. also does anyone have any idea of what a new computer might run me for my car?????

Try pulling the codes with a big paper clip bent in a "U" shape in the ALDL and using the speedo for the display. This site is a better explaination. When you do it, have a pencil and paper ready as it will automatically display the codes when it begins. You'll need the fault code and the module code.

Sounds like mine when the opti started going away.

A new computer is something like either $400 or $800 ( I don't remember which), but they don't go often.

The code values are at: http://www.corvettedoctor.com/1994-96_Codes.htm

It you get a 16 and a 36, plan on replacing the opti.
