I bought my third C5 the first weekend in April. It is a sickness!! I'll get pissed at all the electrical problems and trade it off, then I will miss it so bad I'll have to have another one.
Sixteen Corvettes later this is my third C5.

Chasing check engine codes.

How can all 4 o2 sensors be bad?
My handheld scanner is saying the code for:

Bank 1 and 2....sensor 1 and 2
