Be sure you fill the spark plug boots fully to displace air with diametric grease. Hope this solves the problem.

Well, after digging the ZR1 out finally, dilectric greasing the plug boots, and test driving with no change. Misfire within a quarter mile. Taped a fuel pressure gauge to the wind shield, test drive with 50 psi all the time, with or without the misfire.
Runs great when ice cold and above 3000 rpm. The miss is coming sooner and sooner. I guess when it doesn't run at all, it'll be easier to find.
Help!

I have been thinking overheating ECM for quite a white since I have seen it in Saturns and 1 Cadillac, but I hadn't seen anyone mention it. And since the normal flow chart answer of "test with known good part" is a little tough, I was waiting to see if anyone else has had an ECm related problem

Thanks for the heads up, I think I missed that one when I was looking through all the pages for answers

I drove the ZR1 with a scanner on it yesterday and found that the RH O2 sensor went to .724 and stayed there. Shut the car off, drove it a little later, same thing. New RH O2 and the car runs great, so good that after an 8 mile thrashing I could finally verify the starter hot soak problem. 3 hours later, the starter would work again.
Thanks for all the great suggestions

50psi all the time?

FSM says that there should be changes in static pressure, dynamic, and in response to vacuum change... UP to 4 psi drop, maybe more, IIRC here.

ed.: Yep - up to 10 psi less.
