im thinking its the secondary injectors that may be the problem as i continue to read in the other posts.

I would like to be sure before i invest in them. Also, if it is the injectors, is there anybody you can recommend with a decent price? Im from Canada if that makes a difference. Maybe the local parts shop can order from a major supplier.

sorry, one last thing... any advice or tricks to do an oil change? and is it true the zr1 takes 12 litres?

thanks in advance!
I have the exact problem with mine! I have a 1990 ZR1 with 11,000km on it which was recently brought up from Florida. Needless to say, I got it out on the road after a long Ontario winter to find under the normal load the car drives perfectly. Under full power, the car shudders and there is no performance difference.

I have it going in this Monday for service, but I am not confident my garage has worked on a ZR1 before. What does anyone think the repair price for the injectors may run me? Does anyone have reservations about bringing a ZR1 to any garage? I am near the Peterborough area and am unaware of Corvette service shops in the area.

Thanks for the input.
