Default Re: My 1990 ZR-1 #2342 from SPAIN.

First of all, I must recognise that the car I bought in 2014 had a good shape but not perfect. After a lot of years stopped with first owners the car had common problems with basic maintenance. The car could run but it would demands a lot of attention... The last owner previously to me began the Works and in these conditions the car arrived to my life.

First big issue: Front right brake caliper completely blocked. During my first months with the car sometimes the caliper remained blocked for a seconds and when you restart the way, it worked well again not for much time?
Finally, the caliper blocked definitively. That was the tip of the iceberg?

My ZR-1 went for the repair shop for first time and after checking all the brake system the main problem rose up. ABS Bosch Module solenoid become stiff. All the brake lines were obstructed with a lot of filth like mud. I think nobody changed brake fluid never. Solution to avoid future problems?? Changed ABS Bosch Module, all the calipers, all the brake hoses and bleeding complete system with a lot of fresh new brake fluid to clean brake lines.
During this first visit to repair shop, my mechanic found problems with original spark wires and one of four coils. He put all new: AC Delco spark plugs, MSD spark wires and AC Delco original coils. He refresh too alternator pulley because of bad bearing and some gaskets from gas line.

After that, the car won a lot of softness, power and brake feeling.
First step was done. Just now was time to interior detail Works at home...

...it will continue.
