New ZR1 owner-timing & sparkplug question
 

I just got my first ZR-1 (1990) last week and drove it for the first time this evening.
It doesn't idle too badly, but misfires badly when driving. My first question is what sparkplugs are recommended. I pulled one plug and it's an AC Delco 41-800. I saw another post where someone had 41-620's.
I would also like to know if the timing is adjustable, and what it should be if so.
Any advice appreciated.

Timing change needs to be done by modifying the calibration.

Ok. Is that something which you can explain?

Probably injectors problem

You need special tooling and expertise to interface your computer chip (prom) which is your ECM brain. Hope that helps

Timing is likely not ur issue.

mine has a slight and / or occasional miss 2-3k....

not sure if the car has the stock injectors or not at 26k miles

going to order a set of new injectors as the plugs look okay
