Do you know if the secondaries function with power switch ON?
What is the time between vacuum pump cycling with ignition key on?
What should the oil pressure be idling? and at 3,000 rpm hot?
What are the secondaries that i need to check with power switch on?
and what time range am i looking for between vacuum pump cycling with ignition key on?
I really appreciate all your help and hope to soon be in the ZR1 brotherhood!!

Good luck with the purchase.
I'd take all that you heard and
prioritize a list.
Likely you won't have a few days to check it out
so knowing what the high $ fixes are and looking for
those first would be prudent.
FIRST:
Take a scanner and plug it in and dump the error codes the car has!
NEXT:
1.
What mods has the car had and are they documented?
Ask owner for paper work (repairs, receipts) this tell a lot.
You're looking for both a well documented car life AND major repairs.
2.
Go through all gears looking for how well it shifts.
Check out reverse. A tranny fix will not be cheap. A new clutch job is not that bad $ wise, nor is the clutch slave and master cylinder.
If it shifted ok chances are all of fine.
3.
Warm it up good and hot. Test the AC and test how it starts when hot. (checks a lot of things) Smooth idle and quick WOT response.
4.
peak at rotors for heavy groves. Test smooth braking.
5. Do a walk around
pre-flight check. (headlighs, tail lights, break lighs blinkers) You don't need a ticket on the way home. (good time to look for scratches and other damage)
6. Incidentals: radio/amps, seats, FX3 settings, etc....
7. Remember if the fluids are totally clear/clean it may
NOT
be a good sign. It could mean there was work done and could still
have a problem. If the any particular fluid looks ok but not new....
good sign.
Again good luck and be ready to learn stuff
