Your 89 Corvette has a MEMCAL inserted in the Computer (ECM). Since the ECM used in your corvette is also found in several other GM cars the MEMCAL has the Program SPecific for that body style.

On the MEMCAL for the 89 there wis 3 Integrated Circuits (ICs) 2 are used when the car goes into Limp Home Mode. the 3rd is a EPROM (Erasible/Programable Read Only Memory). so basically to change the program you would need to use UV light and re-program the code into the EPROM.

1989 corvette overheaTING, ANTI FREEZE IN OIL

Antifreeze in the oil (water in the oil) is classic blown head gasket. Do not drive your car until you have this serious problem fixed by a professional. Continued driving will only worsen the damage already caused by this condition.

Thanks for allowing me to assist you this evening.

1989 corvette, replaced mass airflow and still cuts out and then runs rough till it sits for a while. Took it to chevy dealer and mech said that another sensor was causing problem with the mass airflow...

on the back of the throttle butterfly is a sensor that controls the amount of fuel and it has carbon paths inside it ands i think this is the one causing your problem ,

1989 corvette runs rough, wants to stall even after new plugs and rotor.

Rough idle

The cam or crank sensor is going out when driving at high speeds. I would have those parts check, and have the fuel pressure check , fuel filter change to be on the safe side.

Good luck
