Re: Back fire at start
I bet you have a leaking injector... My 91 did this before I put RCs in it. I replaced the inj on my 90 with the 91 injectors and the 90 developed the same backfire at start up...

longer before firing. An extra second on the start switch might save some plenum diving. P.

Re: Back fire at start
It's only been a couple of times, but I tried what Scottfab suggested, holding the key a little longer. So far so good. On the subject of injectors. From FIC. New or rebuilt?

Re: Back fire at start
I am running the rebuilts from FIC. They seem to work fine, but they are very sensitive to becoming stuck if they sit without fuel in them for any length of time. Jon at FIC has been great about servicing them as needed, but of course it's no fun to pull the plenum to pull the injectors after you just finished up another job. The price is right,though!
All things considered, I'd probably not buy the rebuilts again, but they are working fine for me as of now.

Re: Back fire at start
Any reason to use anything other than the factory recommended unit? Bigger injector = more power?

The Factory unit could not handle modern day fuels with all the EPA additives. They we actually melting the insides of the injectors and causing other issues like rust formation etc. Back in the late 90s original ZR-1 owners were complaining to GM about defective injectors however GM would never acknowledge a defect with the comments of they were designed to perform before all the new EPA additive requirements. So basically suck it was GMs response. RCs and Accels other than being new have a stainless steel sleeve that solved the melting and rust issue. These rebuilds do as well but Ive heard more than a few folks complaining about issue with the rebuilt injector having to be replaced or cleaned. However I have heard nothing but great comments about the customer service of the rebuilder however that can only go so far when you have to keep pulling the plenum.

Re: Back fire at start
Thanks GC, you missed my point. Not GM injectors, but the actual size and rating of the injector. Like diferent size jets in a carb. Can I put in an injector that will flow more fuel and give me a bazillion more hp?
