Car has run fine so far. Shifts are kinda hard and jerky and the car kinda jerks back when you put it in reverse. Not sure if this car was ever tuned or not.

The tuner guy should be able to tell if it has a tune in it or not.

Just took apart the door release and cleaned the contacts. Easy to do in about 20 min. Door is much better now.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. Gas cap was loose so i hope that is what caused it. These gas caps always sucked on these cars.

I guess the Corvette engineers should have come up with a CHECK GAS CAP light.

Car has been fine but today it fell on it's face two times when i hit the gas. It took like 3 secs for it to shift and acted like it was gonna die.

Other than that it has been fine for 3 weeks. I know buying a 15 year old car is not gonna be without some probs.

Isn't your appointment to get it tuned coming up soon? Hopefully that will take care of some issues.

What I have seen lots of people do is to get some add-ons put on a vette, get it tuned for those add-ons, and then when it comes time to sell the car, they take off the after market stuff so they can sell it as being "bone stock". But they don't normally reload the old tune back in. So the car will run OK, but the air/fuel tables are a bit out of whack.

Disconnect the battery, then hook it back up again, start up the car and see how it runs. If it sputters and runs rough for a while, it has a tune in it that isn't optimum for your engine right now. The fuel trim tables will get filled with new data to self adjust the A/F mixture and it will run better in a few moments. I saw that phenomenon on my C5Z after certain "tuners" fiddled with it.

I take it Fri for the tune. I am sure he can see what is up with the engine light.

He will know if it was ever tuned. Just hope i don't have a money pit. I know the gas tank is something i gotta hope was fixed before i bought it. Many C6's had a bad gas smell from the pass side gas tank.

Yeah, if I remember correctly, the C6s have the fuel pump mounted on top of the gas tanks. So that means pulling down the tank that might have a bad seal causing a leak and subsequent gas smell.

Does CarFax show dealer repairs?
