Is a 04 Corvette Convertible supposed to hestitate while idling? Hey guys,
My best friend's mom is looking at buying a 2004 Corvette Convertible with 11,000 miles. I drove it at the dealer today and noticed while the car was stopped and idling it would hesitate slightly. It wasn't that bad and the tach needle was barely moving but I could definitely feel it. It did this both with the A/C on and off. The sales guy it's normal b/c the car has such a 'big' engine (it's the base 5.7L) which I think is BS. To all you Vette owners out there... is this normal? Is it b/c it's a convertible and doesn't have the added stability of a roof?
If it isn't I'm thinking it may be a vacuum hose, O2 sensor, bad fuel or spark plugs/wires.
I appreciate any advice!
Thanks,
Mark

Just Kidding man..........
Hell no.....its not supposed to miss or hesitate. That thing should idle smooth as glass....IF its in good, normal condition.
Stay away from it......
