Default P0650 code/not allowing car to start

Hey guys, hope I'm not starting a thread on a often discussed topic but I did a search and nothing came up..

Have a 2005 Vette, high miles, that is throwing this code and not allowing the car to start. At first, could turn car off and back on and it would start..
Now, only way to get it started is to pop the clutch..

Was also getting a 'service column lock' for a bit but that doesn't seem to pop up..

Any ideas? Getting frustrated..
thanks!

P0650 is a MIL light malfunction

problem could be cluster or pcm.

The trouble tree is about a page long, plus it branchs and it helps to have a scanner to turn things off and on etc.
