Ayup.
I remember reading it and saying to myself, "BOY, I sure wish I had read this FIRST!!!"

I did read it and I thought I had picked the correct size pin to insert into the socket but obviously I must not have. Hopefully this will fix this problem and I can move on. Thanks to all for all the help, previous postings and information.

Good job, you guys. I'm impressed you were able to track it down methodically.

And I guess the lesson here is, whenever you have a problem read the entire contents of ZR1.net and you'll find the answer. :-)

I give you "cudoes" for breaking this down in logical steps. I think you'll get along with this car just fine!:dancing

i have the same hesitation/miss at low acceleration, idle is fine and WOT is great. I changed coils, FIC injectors and 6 spark plugs. LMK what you find. I still need to change the back 2 plugs so I'm hoping that's it.

Johnny5 you can try to isolate if it is one of the back cylinders by pulling a plug wire like BigD did in post #20.

IMZZ, have you done the injectors yet? I got my de-pin tool and the sockets from 'Crabs today so hopefully i can get to it this weekend and get her fixed. Thanks 'Crabs for the sockets and info, should be able to handle it, very similar to aircraft connector repair.

Thanks IMZZ I have to get around to it. She runs great at WOT so thats 98% of what I drive it at

Food for thought...

After I first got my Z, it had a slight "miss" on one cylinder that wasn't so apparent under heavier throttle - if much at all. Turned out to be a burnt valve, stemming from a weak primary injector!

Just sayin.....

I replaces my injectors when i first bought it, all coil packs, wires, and 6 spark plugs. The bog is iccasionally only under slight throttle. Hopefully its a plug i havent changed.
