Does the security light go out when you insert and turn the key?
Check the clutch relay switch under the dash, I think it's a big yellow plug. It should show continuity when the clutch is pressed down.

Starter relay issue. Very common among the ZR1s. See sticky for fix, and you'll never have the issue again. Tons of threads on this topic in the search function too.
