Abs active light on, brakes pulsate when tapped.
The ABS Active monitor comes on when one or more of the wheels are not spinning at the same rate of speed. The ABS system determines wheel "lock up" from the wheel speed sensors and will adjust brake pressure to unlock the skidding wheel(s). It achieves this operation with a pump which will rapidly pump the brakes to the specified wheel. I'm assuming this is the "pulsation" you are experiencing. If you are having this problem under light to moderate braking, be sure to have the proper size tires on all 4 wheels. Incorrect tire sizes and uneven tire wear will give improper wheel speed information the the ABS controller. This will result in a malfunction of the system.
1998 corvette c5 has miss at idle
Try cleaning your Mass air flow sensor. When the MAF sensor gets dirty, it can cause your engine to run slightly lean and make sure your engine is running at normal operating temperature with a good thermostat.
At idle, if the MAF is slightly dirty and giving the wrong signal to the PCM. There is a good chance that your engine have a lean condition enough to cause it to have a miss. It's may just be in the perimeters that it will not set a check "service engine light" on, but will cause it to miss.

When the headlights go up they dont turn on and
Hello, my name is Ben. It's possible that both bulbs have burned out. Have you verified voltage going to the plug where it goes into the back of the headlights? As for your right headlight clicking. The most likely cause is the plastic gear inside the headlight motor is worn out. The gear will need to be replaced, or eventually the motor won't raise or lower the headlight. There are brass gears made as an aftermarket part that are vastly superior to the stock GM plastic gears. I hopes this helps. Feel free to ask any other questions if you need more information.

possible connection under the dash. could also be bad connection at the switch in the steering wheel or bad switch all together. if it still honks with the alarm, the relay is more than likely still good. something electrical on the switch side of the relay.
How do i change the fan belt on a 1998 corvette?
Hello, this is a very easy job.The main thing is to look at the routing of the belt very carefully before you remove it. It looks so simple at first look, but it's easy to get confused once it's off. With a ratchet and a 15mm socket, or a box end 15mm wrench, release the the belt tensioner by pushing it towards the center of the engine, then just pull the belt off, then you can let the tensioner go back slowly. It's also helpful if you put a wire on the old belt so it doesn't fall way down in there. Then you just route the new belt around all but one pulley and push the tensioner to the center again and place the belt over the final pulley and release the tensioner.

You have no idea what kind of damage it got from the front impack, remember its fiberglass not steel, and it could have floded up like an acordand and damaged the crank on the engine if it hit hard enought. Instead of worying about the maintenance record consider what kind of damage it sustained.
