2007 C6 starts and immediately dies
Hello I have a 2007 Chevy Corvette C6 LS2. It starts immediately shuts off and it takes about 20 seconds with the ignition in the off position and I can start it again and then it shuts off after about 3 seconds. Once in a while I can give it some throttle and it'll stay running for a minute and then shut off. When it is able to stay at an idle for about a minute I can't give it any throttle it just idles. I tried replacing the fuel pump relay and it didn't do anything different. One thing that did happen is I started getting a big battery drain and I have to leave my car on a battery tender so I didn't have to jump start it. Would take about 5 days to drain the battery I'm not sure if this is related but it started around the same time. There is no codes that I can pull with my scanner.
Here's a video that I uploaded to YouTube just click on the link and you can see what the car is doing it's like a 2-minute video I made.

We had a member on here with a similar issue and found out it was a defective MAP sensor…since you have a scan tool see what your MAP sensor reads engine off ignition on…it should read about 101 kPa or 14.7 psi at sea level…MAP sensor may be skewed.
