LT-5 motor issue

[JimBobTX]

As a follow up to my original post, I wanted to report the final solution. I had the car hauled to Cross Flags Performance (Steve Schroder) and am extremely satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend Steve as a go to guy for performance issues, and probably any issue, as it relates to C-4's or especially our ZR-1's.

If interested I have posted below a brief history of my performance issue.

I purchased my ZR-1 at the Barrett-Jackson, Palm Beach, auction in the spring of 2018 and once I had it shipped home I discovered that in power mode the engine cut out and seemed to run on only some of the cylinders. Being dissatisfied with the performance I contacted the service manager at Corvette World in Houston. He told m that he was experienced with the LT-5 engine and could correct the problem. They had the car for 3 months and I was told that they tired a lot of different things, including new injectors and when I got the car back it didn't ruin any better than when I took it in. So for the past two years I just drove it occasionally with no expectation of being able to drive it in the Power Mode.

Earlier this month I took it to get gas and noticed a significant problem in performance and the engine seem to cut out or misfire in normal mode. After a few days I started the car again and this is when I noticed the white exhaust that had a faint odor of anti-freeze and posted my question about who to take the car to on this forum.

I took the car to Steve and he was able to fix all of my performance issues in the car. Unfortunately many parts for these cars are no longer manufactured, or even available anywhere, but Steve was able or either disassemble, and clean/repair, or locate used parts for what were needed to repair my car, and for that I am very pleased. If any one is interested interested in exactly what Steve had to do to correct my problems, I will leave it to Steve to explain the details.

All I can say for certain is that my problems were solved and I am extremely satisfied with the way the car performs, my interaction, and communications, with Steve during the repair and the ultimate cost of the work. I would highly recommend Steve for anyone needing help with the ZR-1.

Jim, that's very kind of you. It was a priviledge to help you with your ZR-1! I'm always here for you for anything you may need..
