    Help needed- C5 Corvette stumbles under load <1500 RPM

    OK I'm gettin desperate but have a 98 Coupe MN6 and its been acting
    funny lately. If the motor is under load (up hill or high gear) and it
    is under 1500 RPM, and I press the gas more then 50% of the way the
    car stumbles.

    I first noticed this when I did the "zip tie airbox" mod. At first, I
    forgot to plug the little vaccuum line thingy into the accordian
    coupler in the intake track. Now- I did drive around for about 20
    miles with this error in place. I figure oops, no big deal I'll just
    plug it back into place. I plugged it back into place, but it still
    does it. Then I replaced the entire airbox assembly and even reset the
    battery. Its still there. Oh yeah, I did try to pull codes, there was
    nothing. Zero.

    Yes I've checked over it to make sure theres no air leaks in the
    intake track. I even pulled off the MAF and filled the intake plenum
    with water to make sure of no leaks. I'm 98% sure that theres no
    airleaks but I'm a little skeptical of area between the duct that goes
    over the radiator with the flag on it and the flexible accordian
    coupler. It sorta just pops on. I'm probbly gonna seal it with sealer.
    I also tried undoing that plug that goes into the accordian coupler
    and sealing it with tape but once again no luck. Maybe my MAF went
    bad?
    Dont think I have bad fuel, i've already filled up once and dumped
    some techron in there too.


    Any other suggestions???

    That is a pretty mean load on the sparkplug gap. I wouldn't be suprised
    if you are shorting to ground in the plugs. I'd at least take a look and
    check the gap at this point.

    That's interesting, mine's doing the same thing. Only at low RPM as you
    noted and only when going uphill at cruising speed. I was wondering about
    water in the gas tank.

    Mine has done it maybe a half dozen times since Oct. 1997, it's the German
    humor built into the sending unit.
