Do you get any FLASHING "Check Engine Lights" when the problem occurs????????? You can check DTC on the fly! Next time it happens, immediately (safely) pull up the DTCs and see what is listed. I bet you see a P-0300 DTC.

Sounds like you already know how to pull up codes. With caution while driving You hold the exact same buttons. It is easily distracting from watching the road.

Tunes don't have an expiration date or mileage


"tried to call him on this prob...but he is out of business... "

I wonder why!!!!!!!!!!

Hold down the Options button while hitting Fuel 4 times (within ten seconds). System will then cycle through codes.

Is you traction control on when this happens? If so, turn it off and try it...but be careful, it can get a little hairy! When I first bought my vette I had the same problem and some of the members here told me this was my problem. Sure enough it was the problem. A
