Hello dears

I replace the TB Adapter , and I change the TB 5 times by LS3 comaro TB & C6 corvette and check the TB wire

but still the problem with P1515 code

Is any expert have any idea to correct this issue please

You still haven't answered the question. What throttle body? LS3 or LS2? There is a big difference in them on being used on a C5. Does it have a silver throttle blade or a gold throttle blade? If you're using the LS3, it will NOT work with the C5. You'll have to use the LS2. Also, did you change the reluctor gear when you swapped in this L96? They come with a 58 tooth gear and the C5 requires a 24 tooth reluctor. Sounds to me like you might have other issues than just the p1515. Since you're a new poster here and you didn't finish your profile, where do you live? Have you had a professional Corvette shop give you any assistance?
