90 zr1 no start

[Schrade]

Pintles in the injectors get electronically lazy after 20 years. Maybe a spray pattern test in in order here?

And while cranking (low RPM's), perhaps in injector light 'in a blue moon' isn't TOO far fetched? Once every 720 degrees.........

Gotta be one of those pesky intermittents.

Everyone, I believe this stream is about my car, posted by a Chevrolet Dealer trying to fix it. If it's not, it sure sounds like my car. It was at the Dealership for 5 months and I picked it up today without them being able to repair it. In fact, it sounds worse now then it did when I dropped it off. I guess it shows Certified Chevrolet Service can't make my car start. After replacing a number of parts, they said they didn't know what wrong with it. I appreciate you guys trying to give advice to help. Thanks, now I'm hoping I can find someone to fix it.

Sorry to hear about that. What did they do, tow your car back to your house? It's a shame your not closer to the wizards in IL or MD. Hopefully someone can refer you to someone nearby. Or if you want to tackle it yourself plenty of fellas here will try and help, through the forum. GL

I had to pay to have it towed back, full of grease all over the inside and a motor that acts like they hooked the plug wires up backwards, and of course, doesn't start. They had it apart numerous times, no way of knowing what they really did. You would think Chevrolet would care, but they walked away. I've had the car for 21 years, it's sad to see it like this.

I would try and contact someone higher up like corporate or maybe the BBB. Dealerships are franchises aren't they? If it was greasy inside, I would've taken pics of it right away, there's no excuse for that. They should at least pay for detailing and cleaning it up after charging you for a job they never completed (I assume they charged for labor and parts). Do you own a scanner to read if any codes are stored?

Hib,the 91 FSM I have also has a supplement.

Pictures wouldn't do any good. Showed the inside to the service manager and he just started acting like I had two heads. They didn't charge me, they new they missed figuring it out in the first place and told me months ago the work from free. But that doesn't help when 5 months later they send it back worse than it left. Not showing any codes. I've had a few people send me some private reply's to this and I think I have someone that really knows ZR1's to send it to. I'll let everyone know how that goes over the next weeks.

I'm surprised you didnt get a bill. Diagnostics, however unfruitful do cost money. Maybe at that point in time, you did have 2 heads to that service manager.

There are 2 sides to every coin.

Really sucks that they cant get your car running, though we are at 15 years since any GM tech would have done any 3/36,000 warranty on a 1995 LT5. Be wary of dealerships at this point.

Guess it was a lose-lose situation then. Sucks for both sides. Hopefully you'll have it up running in the not too far future. Let us know how you make out.
