WHAT is wrong with my car???
Recently, I had my fuel injectors cleaned which made the car run better, but I think that's a coincidence because this didn't start happening until a few weeks after that.
Amazingly, when the car is cold, for like the first 15min of driving, it will all of a sudden just DIE during decelaration when I let off the gas.
Any ideas? Thanks

Your car is equipped with a self diagnostic program! Other cars require a trip to the dealer for the OBDII system to be scanned and they pay anywhere from 25-50 bucks for the diagnosis.
To access the system and view the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) follow this procedure:

OR this one:
Another FANTASTIC C5 code web site
YEAR Specific
http://www.corvettedoctor.com/Codes_Page.htm
The DTC codes allow people on the forum to diagnosis your problem and point you in the right direction to repair or understand what is wrong with your car. Without the codes, it is pretty muth worthless asking what is wrong with your car. The best you can expect is a SWAG.
Read the codes, write them ALL down. Once you have them written down, clear all of them. Take the car for a drive. It it dies or acts up, see if you have any DTC codes set or trouble lights set, (check engine ) or (Service Engine Soon)
Hope this helps you understand your car a bit better. Please let me know if you have any questions.
