This car had a steady tick,,,tick,,,tick noise to it before starting from were I was sitting inside the cockpit but the noise was coming up front in the engine department . Is that the vacumm leak sound you guys are talking about as I never started a ZR-1 before ... Engine started right away and ran very smooth . All fluids have been changed and maintained . All buttons and switiches work .

The car is immaculate inside . The plenum has a little bit of staining and a little bit of paint blister near the air entrance at the front of the plenum were a lot o you guys add the ZR-1 logo . Weather was iffy so no test drive but we are heading back on Sunday for a quick boot up the road .



A test drive is a good idea but if it looks good, most everything seems to work, mileage isn't too high and it is within your budget I'd say go for it. It certainly seems better than the one in Montreal. The vacuum pump that runs on if there is a vacuum leak is located in the right front of the engine compartment in front of the wheel well and below the headlight. A vacuum leak is not a big deal even if you have to pull the plenum to fix it. Lots of help on this forum for that. --Bob
