Electrical gremlins? Common in these cars...my gauges started acting up one day so I looked into this after gconnoyer told me what caused it. Normally it's the radio, gauge cluster, lights, or some combination of them. I have the Ls1 so I don't have to worry about that drive-by-wire stuff, but I can see how it may affect your Ls2 car in that way. There's a bundle of wires behind the glove box that tends to rub back there. If a wire/wires has been rubbed considerably to the point of the coating on the wires becoming bare you'll have those issues. Get under there and wrap them up real good, and your problems should be solved. There's a sticky on ls1gto.com about it. Go there for more info. Hope that helped and solves all your problems.
