Re: 1989 Corvette no power.

No codes?

Check fuel pressure. Static, idle with vacuum on FPR, idle with vacuum OFF FPR, and pedal down pressure.

Any loping idle?

Check for vacuum leaks.

Lopin' idle is an air issue; gotta' be a vacuum leak somewhere.

Block the TB linkage, brick on pedal, anything to get a steady idle, then start sprayin' startin' fluid EVERYWHERE, a little at a time, to find where it's gettin' sucked in, and causin' a brief rev increase.

Vac leak will make a engine lope idle - 20 year old lawn mower, or a new car on the lot...
Find a leak in a tight spot? Try a book of matches. Light the whole book, blow 'em out quick while the match heads are burnin', and see if the smoke feeds into some spot...
