My '02 Z-28 has 7,100 miles. I wanted, (really wanted), to run my club's last autocross today. On the way to the event, I thought I felt a miss, but it went away as fast as it came. During my first run the miss returned, and the light came on. The light went out, and I took my second run. The light stayed on so I left the event. The light will flash for a while, (I counted 10 flashes, 25 flashes, 32 flashes, and too many flashes to count), then stay on for a while. Then it flashes again. It feels like a dead miss. Do I need to take it to a dealer, or can anyone scan it? Have any of you had this issue before?

if it is flashing when it is running it is trying to tell you that the miss is bad enough to damage the cat. So you need to find which plug or plugs are not firing.
