I sure am happy to have the Vettes. Nothing like the Z. Funny thing when it has happened, when it won't start when you turn the key during the period when it does not the gauge on the dash shows something like 10 volts instead of 13 normally and that is before the key is rotated forward to the starter position. Even putting a booster battery starter on it did not change that. Well before anything happens anywhere near the starter.

Relay under dash, switch on clutch? All possible but it smacks of some heat oriented process as an hour and a half later when the car has cooled both times and you turn the key with nothing else different it reads 13 volts and everything starts as normal.

I'm wondering if somehow the alarm system gets kicked in. Have to read the book. Right now it's going to get a new battery as I don't know the age of the battery that was in it in Atlanta area last Dec. when I bought it and drove it home to Chester, Va. I've looked but not pulled the fender to pull it out. They have not been able to duplicate the problem in the shop either. Hopefully they will put the new battery in today. I asked them to pull codes on it but they had not done so yet when I asked. Perhaps that shows the issue. Battery booster connected to the battery made no change in the gauge reading either so it smacks of some relay or breaker cutting off to most everything other than dash lights.

We will see.

Glad I have the 76 which is still pretty and fun to drive if half the power of the 91 Z. Love to drive it on twisty roads with its bigger than stock 255 mm footprint tires.
