I dont even know where to start looking at the vette forums theres like 200 things to try.99 c5 big cam, headers custom op.5,
I looked up the codes it had befor I tuned it(coped them to note book also ) looks like it had same problems,
Car runs great when its not throwing codes, may go 100 miles with out doing it
Here are the codes on note book, freeze frame,log when it went into reduce power ,log of tps readings with out engine running
my question is there's like 6 or 8 grounds, bcm,tcm or maybe just needs tps relearn

Look in the Engine DIagnostics section of the tune... some sanity table is being exceeded.

I guess your talking c3907? I changed it to this would that be wrong? or is there another change that needs to be made.The idle is 975 I was guessing c3907 needs to be little high for cold start when its comanding higher idle

When I look up P1221 in E38 context, I don't get any hits in my service manual for this specific context.

well I was looking at the tps connector on this car some one had cut it off then changed it back (from ls1 to ls2 then back from ls2 to ls1)one pin is very loose a paper clip falls right in the others are tight so I am going to change the end,plus the crimp connectors they used was kind of a mess.
