my z and nagging problems
just got my zr1 out of the shop a few days ago .shop repaired vacum leak under plenum ,new plugs,wires,new starter since some times it would not start.had a problem when i first picked it up but they corrected it and the car ran great, better than it ever has.take it out tonight and no start,gave two teen agers 5 bucks to push start me.well at least i thaugt its running right when it start chugging in 6th gear at about eighty on interstate.the no start has got to be the start enable relay,am i right.but the chugging and even a little backfire once, i really dont know. my wife has a new c6 and im taking a beating from her over my z .she has been with me twice of the four no starts.i have got to get it fixed before she catches me out and wants to race.she has done it before,ten years ago she smoked my 86 vett with a ls1 camaro,it forced me to buy a 96 lt4.

Had a problem when I first picked it up but they corrected it and the car ran great, better than it ever has. Take it out tonight and no start,gave two teen agers 5 bucks to push start me, well at least I thaught it was running right when it start chugging in 6th gear at about eighty on interstate. The no start has got to be the starter enable relay, am I right? But the chugging and even a little backfire once, I really dont know.

And not showing a code does not mean somthing is not wrong.
They are the same flow rate. But the clips are different. You need to cut the tabs off of the primary injector
Doesn't matter the mileage. Letting them sit is worse.
Stock - Around 1,000 (good guy price)
RC's - Around 960.00
Accel 150121 - 600.00
It's worth it when everything is clicking.
