Bad injectors or vacuum leak?
I have a 1994, 19,000 miles, haibeck intake & port polish, headers.
Car suddenly has no bottom end, meaning bad stumble/dies at idle, when I get into it everything is fine. Since the car sits a lot my initial thought was bad primary injector(s). After searching forum, vacuum leak also looks to be a possibility. Looking for input from anyone experiencing something similar. Thanks, Jack |

Re: Bad injectors or vacuum leak?
with the miles I'm going to say injectors. a vac leak will cause the car to fall flat high in the rpm band

Re: Bad injectors or vacuum leak?
make sure your MAP sensors are connected

Re: Bad injectors or vacuum leak?
Map sensor hose is first guess.
Does it smoke on startup? Second guess is fueling, either fuel pumps or filter. Since it's a '94, injectors aren't as likely to be at fault as if it were a '90 or '91. 'Crabs

Re: Bad injectors or vacuum leak?
Thanks for the responses. I'll try the MAP sensor hose/connections. The ZR is parked in Colorado, I mostly live in Reno though. I'll hold off ordering new injectors and will dig into the MAP sensors when I get back to CO (in a couple months). I hope that's what it is, would rather not get into a plenum pull if I don't need to.
If the MAP sensor is ruled out, I'll start looking at the other suggestions. I'll post back here what I find for reference. Jack
