Damn, change engine light? Does it tell you what engine have to install instead or is that up to you?

I think you hopefully mean "CHECK ENGINE" light ... the "CHANGE ENGINE" light only comes on when you run a +14 second time at the dragstrip .....

To look for codes ... follow these instructions .... post the codes and someone will help you in diagnosing the "CHECK ENGINE" light ....

https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...D=26&TopicID=1

Post the entire code, such as P1234H .... the leading letter tells us what part of the car posted the code (P is Powertrain, B is Body ... etc) and the last character (C, H or CH) tells us if the code is Current, History, or both ....

What is so funny .... go try it on your Corvette ... turn ignition to ON (don't start engine) and while holding the OPTIONS button on DIC panel press FUEL four times ....

The Corvette is the only car I know of that will then enter a display mode that cycles through each control module in the car and displays any/all Diagnostic Troube Code's (DTC) stored in the modules.

This feature apparently upset a lot of people in the GM world, it was removed from the C6 Corvette .....
