    Help! 99 corvette won't start

    It went very well, no issues. It was such a pretty day, I wanted to drive forever, but....had to come back to reality. I'm really hoping this solved the problem, however at the end of my drive, the "Service Vehicle Soon" message came up. Now I'm researching this one! Have you had this one...

    Help! 99 corvette won't start

    We picked up the car!!! The final diagnosis was the battery had some dead cells and the ignition switch was bad. Both were changed so we'll test it out today as it is a beautiful day in Houston! :)

    Help! 99 corvette won't start

    Well the battery was bad, we got a new one and brought it back to the dealership, but have to wait until Monday when the Tech returns to see if this is the fix or if something more could be wrong. I'll keep ya'll posted.

    Help! 99 corvette won't start

    We went to pick up the car and it started right off. Drove it back the 25 or so miles and brought it to the dealership to see what they say. It died twice on the way back, but both times started right off. There was a message of reduced engine power came on and the traction control message...

    Help! 99 corvette won't start

    He told me it was an emissions sensor and that it was causing my car to run rough. I got it out on the freeway and really got on it and the rough idle he was talking about went away and so did the light. However the light came on about 3 tanks of gasoline later. I then thought it was the...

    Help! 99 corvette won't start

    I'm not sure as it was a noisy parking lot, but I don't think so. I had to leave it in the parking lot overnight :( but will check it out tomorrow. Are you thinking fuel pump? That did cross my mind.

    Help! 99 corvette won't start

    I was driving my 99 corvette today and it died once while coming to a stop, started back up but when I got to my destination, went in for about 15 min. and then tried to start it to leave, it wouldn't start. It sounds like it's going to start, but don't quite make it. It almost sounds like it...
