New ZR1 owner-timing & sparkplug question
I just got my first ZR-1 (1990) last week and drove it for the first time this evening.
It doesn't idle too badly, but misfires badly when driving. My first question is what sparkplugs are recommended. I pulled one plug and it's an AC Delco 41-800. I saw another post where someone had 41-620's. I would also like to know if the timing is adjustable, and what it should be if so. Any advice appreciated. |

Re: New ZR1 owner-timing & sparkplug question
mine has a slight and / or occasional miss 2-3k....
not sure if the car has the stock injectors or not at 26k miles going to order a set of new injectors as the plugs look okay |
