Was this normal? Should I pull
So, I recently tried to start my vette Without my foot on the break. Ouch.
I turned the key and No power, no warning lights no gauges, zip, nothing, no sound, like it's dead. So I realized what I did.
I step on the break and turn the key, the brake pedal depresses and doesn't come back up. still no life, nothing. I try it three or four more times, the gauges came back to life but the DIC doesn't show anything.
Still no engine sound or crank. My buddy with me says put it in neutral, then try it. Still nothing.
Put it back in park and try it. It starts but immediately stalls. Then I start it again and keep the throttle down.
