Default new vette! (For me) got trouble codes

Im so proud of myself, having never owned a corvette in my life, I got
one sunday (92 coupe) and Ive already jumped the terminals and got my
trouble codes...

after it flashed "12" 3 times, it did the following"

"13...12....13....12..." and so on...

I found that 13 means Open circuit at left oxygen sensor (which I dont
have the slightest Idea what it means) but cant figure out number
12... does it just flash 12 between each code?
thanks!

12 is a neutral number that seperates the trouble codes. If only 12 flashes
it means there are no trouble codes. In your case you only have to worry
about 13.

You either have a cut wire to the oxygen sensor or a bad oxygen sensor.
Under the car work is in your future. The oxygen sensor screws into a
bung in the exhaust system near the catalytic convertor. Now...I can't
tell you if Chevy calls the drivers side or the passenger side the
'left' side when it comes to the sensor, but I assume it would be the
drivers side.

Also Jump pins A and G
You may get some codes that pop up on your speedometer (at least check for
them)
