New ZR1 owner - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Mitsumark · 08-10-2013

Hello ladies and gents.I am the new owner of a 91 ZR1 #170.From what I've been told,and basing on the huge portfolio of documents the car came with,it belonged to a former member here named Rick Minson..The car seems to be pretty well modified from what I can see,and from the documents.It seems Mr Minson spent a ton of coin at The Vette Doctors in NY somewhere around 93.That receipt consisted of a 368 Ci engine build that cost 18k alone..That doesn't include the other massive amount of mods done to the suspension,exhaust,cooling system,ect..The kicker is that it seems the car was built and it must of sat for years as mileage is only 9k more now than it was back in 95 according to Carfax and maintanence records..I've listed a link to the car below as if anyone here knows Mr Minson or the car,I'd love to hear about it..The reason why Im posting is the car seems to have developed a slight misfire.I have a document that states the coils were replaced in 2010.I also have confirmed the injectors were replaced with FIC SS injectors just last year..I know a spark misfire when I feel it and Im suspecting the coils were replaced with Chinese junk and not Delcos as the car sat at a small car dealer before it came into my possession..I've already installed a current EPROM for my build by Marc Heibeck.Ive also confirmed there are absolutely no vacuum leaks.That includes the PCV valve connections,and the MAP to Plenum hose..I'm convinced I have a bad coil,thus requires removal of the plenum..Here's my dilemma..I plan to remove the plenum to replace the coils with Delcos..During this time I'd like to totally eliminate my secondaries and it's components..I will send my chip back to Marc for a recalibration..Is there any members local to the NJ area as I am not confident doing this myself the first time around..I would love to watch,help,and learn the first time around..I would also be happy to pay somewhere for there time..I can even come to you..If anyone is interested,please email me.Id really feel better knowing someone with an experienced LT5 hand was there..Thanks..
