It probably wouldn't hurt to clean the Throttle Body as well. I had a hesitation / bogging issue upon acceleration and when i removed the air bridge off of the TB i can see the area around the blade and the blade itself covered in carbon. I removed, cleaned and reinstalled the TB. No more hesitation !

Good Show !!....speaking of Throttle Bodies a really dirty one can set a P0106 DTC..."MAP Sensor circuit Range/Performance"...MAP sensor looks at RPM and Throttle Position....if TP is skewed because of Throttle Plate not fully caused...BAM !!....P0106 !! ...I see you're in NJ also...are you a member of the Central Jersey Corvette Club ?? ...I'm thinking of joining...might show up at the July Club meeting !!

OP: There is no need to purchase a code reader. Your car has an On Board Diagnostic system that is better than any cheap code reader you can purchase. It can read all of the codes on the car not just the powertrain codes which are only 55% of the total number of codes that can be generated by some sort of failure.
