My 1984 Corvette is running extremely rough. I have to play with the throttle to find a spot in the throttle to get it to run. I have changed the fuel filter, O2 sensor, throttle position sensor and cleaned the throttle bodies. I drove it after doing all of this and it ran like a charm. Next time I tried to drive it the car ran like it had previously, rough. What else should I try?

Check your fuel pressure, and or injectors. You may have too much fuel getting into the engine causing it to burn rich and overheat the converters.

Do you know if the plugs were changed, a bad or broken plug will also cause rough idle and slow acceleration?

Yea , those crossfire injection vettes can be a bear sometimes . I had dealings with them 84-85 - 86 working as a tech at a chevy dealer . Don't remember much about them , haven't heard anything about them for long time .

How's the fuel pressure ? Have you put a fuel gauge on it ? I would imagine you don't have a Tech 1 scan tool ? What's the map sensor voltage at idle ?
