A few (less than 5) minutes later I used the new key and *pop* the engine turned and started right up as usual. I let it run for about 10 seconds, turned it off and tried again with the "old" key and *pop* everything turned and the engine started right up. Huh?
I took the '89 to work today as I didn't want to trust the 91 until I did some more checking. (I love my ZR1 but the '89 is very fun and "scooty").
I'll read over the stickys on "the dreaded no start" later tonight, but since I had a few minutes at work, I'd ask if there was a couple of obvious things I needed to check first?
The '91 has been 100% bullet proof in the 18 months and 8K miles I've had her.
Thanks guys!!

Sometimes, not often but w little warning, I get a ZING when turning the key as if the flywheel was missing a tooth. Wait a few moments and VOILA!
