Were these codes marked with a C or H? If all them are marked C for current then I'm gonna guess you need a tow thats alot of codes for the TCS

Gas pedal loose meaning I have zero resistance when I push down.

Clear ALL those DTCs and once they are cleared, try to crank the engine and then reread the DTCs

Thats the best way to figure out whats going on.

Does the Accelerator Peddle return to the top by its self or is it on the floor??? If its on the floor, it puts the engine in the clear flood condition and cuts fuel to the engine.

If it goes to the floor, tie a string to it and pull it back to the top. Be careful as if the string breaks the engine will go full WOT.

realoem???????????

This site is the MOST active site for the C5.

There is the Corvette Action Forum you can try.

http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/forum.php

There is also LS1Tech but thats mostly engine / drivetrain related as it
covers all GM LS stuff.

When I got home I crawled into the confined space under the steering wheel. The bracket that connects the pedal assembly to the firewall is broken.... however that happens.... doesn't explain the display for service active handling etc. though.

Until you Clear all those old DTCs and read and post the new ones, its going to be tough to point you in the correct direction. Read the DTCS BEFORE YOU TURN THE IGNITION OFF!!

Other wise, you may not see all the EBTCM DTCs

Actually that does explain it. The c1295 is the cause of your service codes. It is the stop lamp switch as GM calls it and is likely not working because of the broken pedal. Check this link for more information. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...l-c1295-h.html
