CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, CHECKED THE CODE, AND THE CODE IS P1416. THIS HAPPEN ONCE BEFORE, AND ALL I HAD TO DO WAS RESET THE CODE AND IT NEVER CAME ON AGAIN.
THIS TIME I RESET THE CODE, AND IT COMES BACK ON JUST AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES OR SO. THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE NOW. ANY IDEAS ON WHAT TO TRY NEXT? THANK YOU.

You have essentially an emmissions issue. Take it a dealer that sells and services corvettes is the best advice for this condition. It has to do with system control feedback necessary to not set the code got it... Joking but that is why sometimes the code and trouble light set and sometimes it doesnt. There are easy tests to determine the cause and you need a scan tool to do it. Ask the manager if they have a tech2 as a qualifying question and ask how much$$?? before repairs are made. should be covered under warranty??? GOOD LUCK it has to be fixed but could also be from not running it hard enough do you let it idle alot?? Get on the highway and clean it out pedal to the metal like

It's the AIR check valve as Chewy's link will tell you. It's not something you need to rush out and fix. But, if you let it go, keep checking the codes just in case something else comes up.

BTW, typing in all caps is considered YELLING and is hard to read.
