I also took the advice of my fellow forum members and purchased the CLB from Corvettes of Houston.
After I did the install, I fired up the car and I immediately had the the "Pull Key and Wait 10 seconds" message.
I contacted Corvettes of Houston. (A great bunch, I might add) and they had me return it after I received the replacement. The second one worked great. I haven't had any problems since.

It is known there are problems with earlier years
It is no secret it is posted on their website. I may try one eventually. Or, I may just go some custom/ permanent way...

Thus far, 2% of my customers have had it, and other manufacturers have had the same issue with 1997 and 1998 model cars. If you have a 1997 or 1998 model, and you understand this, you can order below. You will have the option of a refund if the simulator does not work in your vehicle.

The pull key message usually indicates that the computer couldn't read the resistance on the key, but I get it from time to time on my 97 (w/CLB) too, and others have posted similar, random occurances. When I get it I pull the key, then put it back in and off I go.
When it happens have you tried pulling the key out and waiting a few seconds bfore putting it back in? Do you have DTC codes being logged? If you have a second key have you tried it to see if it works better?

I pull the key, wait a few seconds , and off I go. My 98 has not fully accepted the CLB and never will. I only get message once in a while. Cleaning your key with rubbing alcohol helps
