Re: Help with FX3 actuators/faults
Had a similar issue on my '90.
I removed each actuator, cleaned with WD40, applied a little silicone lube to the gears and put them back on.
Problem went away.

I've owned my '90 ZR-1 for over 20 years now.
In that time I've put less than 9,000 miles on it.
Every time I drive it I risk serious jail time.
That being said, it's the funnest car I've ever...

Re: SYS Light on Dash
Usually means it's time to replace your battery.
It's a CCM code, means the battery is less than 12v.

Re: No start help!!
Just in case it's not entirely clear, the ignition module is the device that lives on the bottom side of the plenum.
It's also known as the DIS module.
It has connectors in front and the back. It's...

Re: Limits of stock LT5 with boost?
My guess would be that all things being equal, a stock configuration LT5 on boost, the most likely first failure would be head gaskets.

Re: ZR-1 History all "Jack'd" up...
If Ron could be encouraged to do another run, I'd be first in line to buy one, and just to sweeten the deal, I'd pay for half of Craigs replacement bottle.

Re: Repainting Throttle Body Cover
If i were to guess, I'd say he meant to polish your LT5 like he showed in the pic.
Polished motors are pretty for sure, but I'd yuess it takes a ton of rubbng.

Re: LT5-Powered 1958 Corvette Restomod

That was me.
I had bad injectors, tested them by pulling off the big connector on the ECM and probing the sockets with my DVM.
I did confirm injector failure, but also managed to physically...
