My vette has a rough idle
Does anyone have a suggestion for a rough idle. I changed the plugs, new air filter and cleaned the mass air flow. Once or twice a year it stalls or won't start like vapor lock? The garage checked the gas cap pressure as ok. It is my garage queen with only 22k. It seems like a minor glitch and no codes show up. The dealer just did the steering column switch bypass recall. Thanks for any ideas.

If it started after the plugs were installed I would check the plug wires, make sure they are seated all the way down on the plugs, I have also seen a small crack in the porcelein on the plug itself that causes a miss at idle. I would start there.
