Misfire, idles high

I would start with ect. That is the engine coolant temperature (sensor). That sensor monitors the coolant temp and tells the computer to increase engine RPM so the engine warms up faster. In the mornings when you first start your car and it idols high, that sensor is sending that information. If you have a code for this sensor start there.

1999 GMC suburban hesitates start, when first starts then will **** and misfire after about a few blocks of driving......takes a bit for it to stop misfire /jerking and then it runs fine. Sometimes, not...

It might be your coolant temp. sensor-not the sender for your dash gauge, but the sensor that tells the computer the engine temp. I'd also replace the spark plugs. If they have a sooty, black coating your engine is running rich. Does the engine light still come on? If same code, you need to check that circuit out more fully.

1998 olds regency with 3800. On startup car stumbles and hesitates a bit then smooths out. If starting when car is warm it is worse and sometimes won't start at all. Sometimes reving up helps to smooth it...

How long since overall tune-up? Use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, key on engine off. vin K 48--55 psi. Also, check that the fuel pressure will hold for bit, with the key off.
Check fuel trims when problem is ongoing, see if trying to add or remove fuel? If temp related check the coolant temp sensor.
Over-fueling on a hot engine can make it hard to start. Pushing the pedal to the floor should put it in "clear flood mode" and help it to start.
Could be other issues?

1996 corvette didn't pass emissions codes po117 and po300 i just put new engine n tune up what could be wrong now

p0300 is usually a random cylinder miss-fire code, and i think that p0117 is coolant temperature sensor? Try replacing the sensor, could also be the reason for the other code, as a malfunctioning coolant temp sensor will affect engine timing.

Low coolant light off and on and check engine light off and on

check the coolant level at the radiator top tank not the reservoir
multiple misfires is an indication of low fuel pressure
