Re: hi, I'm new
Welcome Yuri.
I love Italy. I returned there again this year (actually last year now) and spent July just having fun in 6 cities. Does the car idle rough? Is that why you want to tune it up? If so and if the car is original and it has been sitting a lot then the injectors may need attention. If the injectors are original they maybe sticking. Inspecting the spark plugs is a good place to start too. Be aware, #8 plug is tricky. We've all developed our own tricks to getting that one out Do you feel comfortable working on the car yourself or will you be taking it to a mechanic? Again, welcome. You're in the right place for help on the ZR-1.

Re: hi, I'm new
thanks for the warm welcome.
I'll tell you in two words the history of the car. After three long years of research I finally managed to find a collector who was interested in selling it. after three months of negotiations finally sold it. the corvette is a first series of 1990 red with red interior, what I loved most, two previous owners, like new with only 59,000 km. the car is all working, excellent paint never damaged. the only problem is that it has not been used for three years,, so it needs fine-tuning. Dynomite I have followed your work, indeed masterpiece, you have my respect. nice post even after you've published. here in Italy there are about 20 c4 zr-1, a dear friend of mine has one, while the other two acquaintances, one has 4 and the other, a mechanic has 5 corvette c4 zr-1. scottfab, where have you been in Italy? |
