Do you have any trouble on cold starts?

It sounds like you have some leaking injectors, this can intermittently flood the engine on warm starts and make it run like ass. Flooring it, cranking it, stop, then restarting normally would cure this condition.

Have you checked your fuel pressure after shutdown or while driving?

It sounds like you may have some other drivability issue aside from that. I don't like the check engine light coming on yet there's no codes. Does the battery clear it? Does the SES light come on with key on? Maybe an ECM problem.

Cold starts seem to be fine. It fires right up.

I tried the flooring it, cranking it, stop routine. It did not help. It kept dying on me on the way to the grocery store from Lowe's.

Dr. Evil said he had a fuel pressure gauge. I don't own one as of yet. (Keep in mind I am not a mechanic, but do want to learn). If Dr. Evil and I cannot get together then I will pick one up at Autozone.

I have not tried clearing it since there are no codes stored. The SES light does come on if I just turn the key to the on position. When shorting out pins A & B I also get the 12 codes, but no other codes. I get very frustrated when the SES stays on and then won't produce a code. If it would throw a code it would at least give me a starting point.

Would the EASE that Bogus offered to send me let me know if the ECM was the problem? I have a mechanic I use (not a corvette mechanic) who put his portable tester on my ALDL connector a while back when I was having this issue. It did not show any problems whatsoever.
