No crank condition - need suggestions - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

KFoster · 10-22-2015

I haven't found this issue, but I bet someone has covered it. 1990 ZR1 will not crank at times. Did it a few times this summer and I thought it was temp related as it cranked fine cold, but then it would not engage starter. No cranking, but all electrics worked fine. Leave it to cool over and it would fire right up. Now, it does it cold. Leave it alone for a few hours and it will crank right up. Maybe a sticking relay? Clutch switch? Any ideas? In my experience, relays won't just unstick. You can tap on them and get them to work, but in this case I did not do that. Did nothing more than leave it alone and try it later. Now I'm afraid to turn it off anywhere but home. Help.
