Default New C4 owner (barn find)

Hey all, just recently became an owner of a 1994 C4 corvette with 73k miles and curious if there is anybody in SoCal thats pretty knowledgeable of these. Looking to diagnose some problems and find out if I'm in over my head.

Oh man I'll have to do that, just unsure if I'll get laughed at or some appreciation for trying to save it.

In this subforum you'll get the latter. Elsewhere on the main forum... not so much love.

No one's going to give you a hard time. Who doesn't like seeing a good barn find! I'm curious what you're getting into.

I can definitely test the diagnosing skills given I'm currently having an issue getting this thing smogged due to an H15 code, I replaced the coolant temp sensor because it was broken and then disconnected the battery to clear it but seems like the code has come back along with some intermittent stuttering when warm and then much longer cranking times when warm. Any advice would be great. Also not very experienced with diagnosing electrical so yikes. Anyways thanks all for all the kind greetings.
