Default 97 vette stalls while driving

On several occasions my 97 corvette stalls while driving. When come to a complete stop and put it in park it starts right up but.... when i put it in drive and hit the gas it stalls. I have repeated that process but the car continues to stall. This last time out after the car stalled while driving i put it in park and as expected it stalled when i put it in drive and hit the gas. But this time i put the car in park... took the key out of the ignition (heard the electronics shut down) put the key bak in and the car took off without stalling. There are no codes...

Any idea what i should check?

Ignition switch, crank sensor, dirty MAF, fuel pump….without a good scan tool and scope you’ll only be guessing !!

A clue is how it stalled. Did it die like you turned the key off? (electronic) Or just lose power and die? (fuel)

Default C5 stalls while driving

Hey guys, I am also having the same problem as well. No codes are showing up, but the car would stall when I drive randomly on the highway. I would start it back up, give it some gas, and it worked fine for another 10-15 minutes, and then die again. I noticed that the car would mostly stall while going over 70mph. I drove my car back going under 70mph for an hour and it didn't stall once. I think it could be the ignition switch or maybe a bad ground.

To the OP, it sounds like your car is experiencing the 2mph fuel shutoff, this sometimes happens without any messages. When I get the pull key wait ten seconds message and don't pull the key it will shutdown as soon as it moves, one solution is to have a tunner raise the 2 mph to 200.
