We did not completely diagnose the idle issue with Rich's LT5. The engine was modified at South Georgia Corvettes which is no longer in business and the owner who had the mods done has passed away. So we are starting from scratch to sort it all out. I think that the car has an aggressive cam profile and that the idle was set a little high to improve drivability. But when I put the Tech 1 on it, I see Idle Air Controller counts of 0 to 1. To me that suggests there is a vacuum leak, most likely under the plenum. The secondary system was removed, and there are some vacuum lines that have been rerouted/modified. We ran out of time yesterday but we will keep working on it.

NOTE: The ZR-1 we are discussing here belongs to Rich J. not Rich M (Scrrem on the Forum), his car is running fine.

I was able to get the car up on ramps and put the cooling system under pressure. The lower radiator hose was leaking due to a loose clamp. Hopefully that takes care of the spay under the hood. If any thing else develops, will report it but so far all good.

I thought the guy near the airport tightned the hose clips a couple of weeks ago and had solved the leaking problem? I thought you needed a water pump gasket.

I just got a response from my son Casey in the field regarding UP40FFE
He said,

Up 40 is height of burst correction for a time fuse when you observe a graze burst without a previous airburst. Time fuses are supposed to detonate 20m above target, primarily used for dismounted infantry in trench lines

Looks like he has been well trained.
