And I found problem with the darn HPTuners interface, the USB cord was funked up...
Does sound like a poss PCM problem. Maybe a shorted wire fried it.

Also on the bright side... I found three potential problems.. Rockers coming loose... Melted oil level sensor wires and whatever two wires run to the oil filter... Also coming from an f-body.it was good to become more familiar with the Corvette.. Since this was my
first endeavor with it.. Thank you all for your help.. Z06supercharged you really went above and beyond... I owe you a steak dinner for sure!
