I have a 2009 corvette, I purchased this car from a family , the car sat up for a while, they would just crank it up every now and then. Well I purchased it and the engine light is on and the TCS light goes off and on. Well I bought it to a certified mechanic for him to repair it, he ran a test on it and it showed a 0300 code, misfiring code. Well he changed the plugs, wires, sensors, did smoke test, checked filters, we running 93 oct. with fuel cleaner and still engine light on, we don’t feel no misfiring ,when running down the road, but we feel a rough idle and the rpm needle is not bouncing on idle , but running I can see rpm needle drop from 1600 to 1000. Now the TCS light will go off and on, the mechanic feels that the TCS light is coming on due to the engine light is staying on. He changed the coil also, made sure nothing clogged up for air intake to engine. The engine run great but it has that rough at idle . Starts right up with no problems. I don’t want to have the engine light turn off by program it to not recognize there is a misfire code going on. Does anyone have any experience with this problem or can you provide some insight on how to fix this problem. I would appreciate any assistance with this problem thank you very much.

Tcs system is not going to set a misfire code, that uses inputs from the wheel speed sensors. No disrespect here, but if your tech feels they are related, you need a second opinion. Many things can cause the random misfire code, this will need deeper diagnostics.

I might have to say that he thinks the TCS light comes on because the engine light is on all the time, but with all the parts that were changed, still don’t know why the engine light is staying on all the time it’s just frustrating. I’m hoping that running the best gasoline with a fuel system treatment, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the engine light goes off on its own. I want to thank you for your time in comments, all help is appreciated thank you.
