I am working on a 1990 Corvette that I need help with.
I have been working on several minor issues with the car and recently reconnected the battery to get a day or two of debugging prior to putting it away for the winter. When I re-connected the battery I could not get the car to remain running above an idle. It does not stop roughly, it is like someone turned the key off. I checked and replaced the typical cuases, bad fuel, fuel filter, fuel pump, and the problem is still there. The air bag light is on in the dash and from what I can see in the schematics it looks like it may have something to do with it. All of the fuses seem to be OK. Does anyone know how I can reset it?
Thank you for any help that you can provide.

Yes, the car ran fine prior to disconnecting the battery.
As a matter of fact I drove it to the garage without any issue.
I did do some further investigation and found that I am getting a code "42" againest the supplemental restraint system which is saying that the bulb is not operating properly. That is a strange one because it is the same bulb that flashes to give you the code. I replaced it anyway and am still getting the same error.
It was so much easier when you did not have to concern yourself with all of this electronics!
I agree. That's why I still have my '73 Coupe. I can do just about everything on it except rear wheel bearings and differential. Those I'll leave to the pros.
