Corvette 8-cyl

  • 62,000 miles
In light of all the gas pedal problems we have seen lately, I would like to share one which I encountered two years ago on my 1999 Corvette. Being a professional engineer, I was able to pin-point the problem to the brake pedal much better than my dealer. My local Chevy dealer wanted me to replace the car's battery, since that was the first code he saw when he scanned the computer. Naturally, the car didn't need a battery so I drove away from the dealer. The symptom was at any time the car would pop-on the engine trouble light and immediately slow down. The car could only be driven up to 20 mph. This happened about six times without incident. I could reset my computer, but the issue soon returned. I replaced the electronic gas pedal assembly and the problem was fixed.
