Re: Starting issue
Does the starter Solenoid move (is there a click and reduction in voltage by diming lights for example)?
If so.....that no start issue will be intermittent until you recondition the Starter Solenoid points. In Emergencies the Z is very easy to push start by hand in second gear pop clutch with key on.

Re: Starting issue
Hello,
This has happened to me several times when I first got my ZR1. I realized that each time it happened it was because I was not fully engaging the clutch which prevented it from starting. Part of the security system.

Re: Starting issue
When you get in is the security light on the left side of the cluster blinking?

Re: Starting issue
Try splicing into the large purple wire in the harness in the back near the firewall . Then touch it to the positive on the battery , see if that spins it over . Make sure its not in gear !

Re: Starting issue
In addition, once in the car, door closed, turn the ignition on without attempting to start, does the security light go out after 2 seconds?
