FINALLY!

[Dime]

Well, after two plus years of looking I finally got a ZR-1. White with red interior 1991 with just over 56,000 miles on the clock. Drove it back from Bloomington Il. to Vicksburg MS. 10-11 hours about 730 miles without a single hitch or problem; car ran amazingly. These cars are amazing, and owning one is a little surreal.
Car has a good bit of work done to it, but nothing major. Dyno says she puts down 388hp to the ground.

A few things I need help fixing on the car.
1.) It looks like it has a vacuum leak. Pump turns on ever 30 seconds to a minute. Would driving the car around town for a few days with a vacuum leak be a bad thing, or something to get fixed asap but nothing to keep it from being driven? I live a few hours away from Mike Ebert and will probably end up taking it to him. Will driving it those few hours to him be problematic?

2.) The previous owner pointed out to me that after the car has been running awhile on a hot day the car, while idling, will have a slight miss, but runs fine. Which it does. I'm hoping fixing the vacuum leak will solve the problem. He talked to Haibeck, and he believes it's probably an ignition coil. It may be an o2 sensor and at worst an injector, but Haibeck doubts it's an injector because he's never heard of an RC injector having a problem.

3.) The rear hatch botton does not open the hatch.

Pics don't do her justice. Some pics I took on a MS backroad.








Thanks in advance for the help fellas and if I think of anything else I willl be sure to post it.

Sounds like injectors. If they are original, good idea to replace them....

Congrats on your ZR-1!

Look forward to pictures

Dave,
I think, based on his post, he's got RC injectors.

Congratulations on your first ZR-1. It sounds like you got a nice one.

There is no problem driving with a slight vacuum leak.

Enjoy.
