Wrong forum section too, but right now I have taken the engine back to completely stock, except for dual 3 inch exhaust, C6 stock manifolds. The car was barely modified as I knew it would be best to fix my problem before doing any more mods. The engine has a mysterious misfire, at idle, and higher RPM, really bad between 2000 and 3000 RPM sometimes surging at idle until I shut the engine off and restart, no codes. I have a laundry list of things I have already checked. I was hoping to have a new set of eyes look at it as I have been looking at it for too long.
I am thinking it may be the PCM but I would like to be sure.

I had a similar problem with my '99 SS, had 2 different mechanics working on it and it finally came down to throwing parts at it. had no codes and nothing would even show up out of spec on a Tech 2 scanner. turned out to be a bad MAF. with a borrowed MAF off a 96 vette, it ran great and I went and bought the correct one. hope this helps, these poor guys were scratching their heads and had resorted to cleaning ground wire connections. which I knew at that point they were reaching for anything.
