Just a little update on things with this. I finally got the chance to pull the injectors one at a time. This had no affect on the lighting and the flicker that is being seen there. To add to this, with each injector that was unhooked, yes, that cylinder would of course miss but, there was...

CaptainXL, Pleae reread the qoute that you attached in your post. The link is to the alternator that I bought at O'Reilly's for $159 plus the $10 core charge. The ACDelco alternator that I priced for $256 was at one of the local GM dealerships and the alternator I listed for $426 was for the...

Trios, I have the Innova 3120b Can OBD 1+2 Tool Kit. It does Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, and a couple others if I remember correctly. It has worked very nicely so far for me. Like I mentioned, the vehicle hasn't thrown any codes since the fuel level sender code a little while back. The one...

Trios, Holy cow bud, that was some funky stuff going on with your Corvette!!! I have never seen anything near that bad going on with a vehicle, talk about having a mind of its own! You didn't by chance name it Kit did you lol! I noticed in your video that your temp readings, on your display...

Thor124, They would not take back the alternator, they tested it and said it was fine. Sooo, I went the exchange route. On alternator number 4 now and the light flicker is still there. If I unhook the connector from the back of the alternator the flicker is gone, as soon as I plug it in...

Texan, The alternator is a "new" unit, this one, Ultima® Select 391654 - New Alternator | O'Reilly Auto Parts from O'Reilly's. I checked into an ACDelco alternator from the local dealership, cheapest one I could find was $256 and at another GM dealership the OEM was $426. I have run a couple...

Budwich, Good call and thank you, I needed to slow down for a second and pay a little better attention!!! Lack of sleep and a nagging problem is slightly affecting my observations a touch. ;) Here is the skinny, and as you called it Budwich, the missfire is still there but the lights DO...

Roadie, I agree with you about being able to use a scope to look at things! I don't have access to one to hook up to the system so yes, this does limit the amount of info that I can provide. Are there scopes for this purpose that can be purchased at your regular auto parts store? I guess I'm...

UPDATE: So, I just started digging into things again this morning and kinda back tracking some things since the "fix" yesterday. I did the coil packs again with no change but now when I undo the alternator, the problem goes away! Yes, the problem goes away now when I undo the alternator...

Budwich, You read my mind with the Torque app! I have an android phone and have been looking at the different interfaces online. Seems some work and some don't. From what I have seen and read, the BAFX bluetooth OBDII port works very well with the Torque app and the Galaxy S3 phone, which I...

Budwich, Other than "fixing" the driver door short circuit for the recall they did NOT fix a thing with the issue I am having. You are correct about the issue still being present without the alternator being in the system, i.e. belt undone and/or alternator unplugged. I also agree that it...

Further update on things. The TSB that the service manager found is TSB 06-06-04-046 for ECM ground corrosion. This is coming from the receipt that I got from them. This is a far cry from what the service manager originally told me about replacing grounds and such. Of course the service...

Texan, You are correct, the PCM is now controlling the coils and injectors. You may also be correct about some feedback working its way into the system. Wanted to add another update. The stealership called me back again and said he did some more digging and found that there is actually a...

Roadie, Seriously, you are like one of the site ninjas!!! I think it is great to have folks on here who have the vast knowledge base that you do, it really does help the community out more than you can ever imagine!!! You are very correct, more info needs to be had about the voltage code they...

Texan and Illogic, Thanks for the info about the plugs. I did install the ACDelco 41-110 plugs when I did the change. BRoman Jr, First, thank you for taking the time to read through this thread!! You bring up a very good point and one that I completely did not think of. I think that you...
