1990 ZR1 problems

[A26B]

Randall,
You should always try to keep the tank completely full, especially when it's sitting for long periods of time. Here's what happens when the fuel pump assy is exposed to air for long periods of time. Large amounts of rust will fall into the tank and clog the filter socks and ruin the pumps.

I had the same problem with the 90 I bought. The car was stored for over a year, bad injectors. Replaced them all is well.

Well, I pulled a code 15 (low coolant sensor) but can't believe that makes the car very hard to start, backfire, stumble etc. Of course that sensor in under the plenum so I will start ordering parts beginning with new injectors that can handle the newer fuel, new coils, spark plug wires and gaskets. I will not start the job until all parts have arrived based on all the reading from this forum. I am on a mission now so this should get interesting.

Randall, give me a shout and let me know what you need. I have most of it in stock.

Hey Randall
The parts aren't cheap. Unless you planned to replace
all those parts anyway, I'd isolate the problem first
and just replace what's necessary.

Save the extra $$ for mods.

And I would take Jeff up on his offer to come and check out your car.
I've heard he sometimes works for Diet Cokes.

I will be calling Jeff very soon.

Actually, its root beer, no ice.
