Help with engine tune problem
Hello to everyone I'm back, this time with a 95 Blk/ Blk with 82,000 miles which I just picked up and need some opinions please. The car starts & idles fine but on slight acceleration seems to have slight miss but when it reaches 3,000 rpm in any gear it simply cuts in & out as if the key was being turned off & on!! No matter how you approach it wont increase past 3,000. There is a check engine lite on but I have not pulled any info yet. Could it be in some limp mode? car has been well maintained by the one owner but the ZR1 knowledge in the area is questionable.
As always any advice or direction on this will be greatly appreciated!! Look forward to getting with everyone thru the mails and future gatherings, Gene in Fl.

Re: Help with engine tune problem
Those sound like the symptoms for a DTC 61 I forget the FSM name for the DTC. It involves the 2* system. The limp home mode for that DTC is a 3k rpm limit....or at least in the 90 FSM it is outlined that way.

Re: Help with engine tune problem
Thanks for the responses, so far I have tracked to the vacuum pump will not shut off unless I place finger over the hose from plenum area!
The previous owner had some local work done???? Can I stop any leaks to at least see the area of needed repair? Would running in low power help? Where is the best gasket supplier? I remember White Racing here in Fl., are they still involved? Would cutting power to vac. pump allow better diagnosis? Thanks in advance for any advice, Gene=D>
