1991 ZR1 Restore - Help!
Hi everyone,
I picked up a non-running (had known bad fuel pumps) '91 ZR1 with 56k miles on it as a project to restore. Here is what I have done so far: - 2 new Suburban Fuel pumps & fuel filter - new fuel pressure regulator & injectors - all new coils, spark plugs, & wires - new belt and belt tensioner - rebuilt damaged vacuum system (tested now working) - cleaned up plenum, injector housing, throttle body, starter, etc. & replaced gaskets - new calipers, brake hoses all around, & brake fluid (rotors were turned) - flushed clutch fluid (no pressure when I got it) - new K&N air filter - replaced oil & filter, trans oil, and differential oil - new battery After finishing, the car cranked right up on first try. It ran rough, and would cut off randomly but would restart right away. After a few minutes, everything smoothed out and it would idle perfectly up to temperature. I did notice that the vacuum pump would now start running constantly (which was frustrating) so I new something was now leaking, but it still ran. The next day, I started it up, ran/idled perfectly up to temperature. A few hours later, went to start it, and now it is just cranking but will not start/run! I lifted up the plenum, found & fixed the vacuum leak, and sealed it back up. Still no start! I checked fuel pump fuses, jumped the fuel pump to hear it run, and used my MT2500 - everything checked out as normal. Next step is get a fuel pressure gauge, but not sure why fuel would all the sudden be an issue. Any other thoughts? Things I should check? If I need to I can pull a plug to check for spark, but working on it alone and will have to wait for help. Thank you in advance!! Last edited by kapkanimd; 11-29-2021 at 08:41 PM. |
