That would be my first guess. Also I printed this out and keep it in my Corvette file with everything else. Take a deep breath and start checking things out. Put in a bottle of Heat in the tank and see if that helps out. David

not sure if you got the fuel additives yet or not, but sometimes cheap gas does it. I always pick up a little bottle of "Heet", cleans things up nice most of the time.

Cheap little yellow bottle, but man does it work.

Sounds like a pluged fuel filter to me, Could have got some junk up from the bottom of tank being that low on gas? I wish you good luck!

First, remove the gas cap, then replace the cap and turn till you hear it "click" at least 3 or 4 times. Then let the car run for awhile or better yet drive it awhile. This happened on my wife's car and should have cleared after a few miles but for whatever reason it took a day and a half but it was fine after that.

Going to the parts store now to have them check the battery and buy some Lucas fuel additive.BRB.
Aren't these all history codes except the 1380?

Misfires usually mean bad coil pack, bad spark plug, or bad plug wire.

Coil packs are expensive so you need to find which cylinder is misfiring before you buy those...plugs and wires are fairly cheap though...

Lemon? I dont think so, remember that the car is potentially 11 years old and has 80000 miles...eventually, something has to break...try not to drive the car though, because usually a misfire means that you are dumping raw fuel into the catalytic converter(s)...they dont like that much raw fuel and it burns them out....those are the expensive parts...
