very weird idle have my z28 stored for the winter never really started it but have been doing it lately. every time i go to start it up it starts really slow and sounds like its gonna die. i let it warm up to optimum temp and when i go to give it a quick rev it bogs back down as if its gonna die then after a min or so it goes back to normal idle. here is a video of what it is doing.

same thing happened to me. do you disconnect the battery? i disconnected my battery for a while and then it started to do the same thing. I had some nice weather a couple of weeks ago and took it for a drive and shut it off and when i started it, it was acting normal again. i think that maybe the car had to go through a drive cycle and the computer to relearn idle. Hope this helps

it was driving weird too. every time i would clutch in as i was coming to a stop it would want to die. I drove it about 10 miles down the highway to the local mall. shut the car off, got out of the car got back in and when i started it up again it was driving normal again.
