Always check for loose plug wires first.

Hello babby blue,

I’m sorry to hear that these service lights are showing up on your ‘Vette. I see that some other forum members have provided you some insight on the situation, but I’d be happy to locate a GM certified dealership in your area if that’s how you’d like to proceed.

Please send me your full contact information (including Zip Code), VIN, and current mileage in a private message if you would like me to send you a list of local dealers and put you in touch with one.

Best,

Corey K.

I had one pop off the coil completely though and got the blinking check engine light and service traction control. You could tell it was missing on a cylinder though. Putting the wire back on stopped it, but the check engine light was on solid for 3 start cycles then cleared.

Worst part was removing the coil cover that was hot as It happened after I stopped in a parking lot, as I went to leave is when it happened.

Checked for codes when the light was still on? You should have a code if the light is set If the code is clearing every restart seems like a power/battery issue but that is just a guess/hunch.
