Whats up guys! I am taking delivery of a 2017 Black 1LT tomorrow. First Corvette I've owned, super stoked! I've had a ton of cars, trucks, suv, bikes. Going from a 2021 Stinger GT1 AWD to the Corvette. I have so many questions.

Welcome to the forum. For answers to your question, I’d suggest you make a thread in the C7 General section.

Good for you! It will take you about a thousand miles to meld with the car.

Watch for Ms Diva of the Texas Highway Patrol if you go through there.

It could be a number of things. You need to take it to a shop that knows the C4. Sounds like the ECU is acting up. My '84 did that once but then settled out.

I looked in my GM Factory Manual for the C4 to add to my earlier comment about the ECM. In the normal function of driving, the ECM talks to the Throttle Position Sensor (TBI) and goes with what the TBI says. So if the ECM is ok, that would point fingers at the TBI.
