Default New guy update

Well I'm into the third week of mind numbing Corvette ownership.I am starting to find out what I bought,The engine is a ZZ3 with an Accel performance tuned port injection,I was able to buy the software and interface cables and manual for the Acel tuned port however I don't have a clue how to use this marvel of the modern world so I had to take the car from Jacksonville FL. to Boca Raton FL. to get it tuned because no one in Jacksonville seems to know any thing about it.(it still idles too fast). Anyway I will post some pictures as soon as I can figure this camera out (God I feel old)

i know what you mean the last oner of my vette trashed it and ran it down from engine interior and even electrical. It took a good week to clean out the car and breaking down 4 times until i ripped the interior apart rewired everything and replaced the starter and mis parts it was then i learn what was all in my car and what we replaced and not stock. Its like an abused dog give it some TLC and it will warm up to you.

Anyways just hang in there ive been learning alot myself just by trial and error.

ZZ3 with an Accel TPI sounds like a sweet setup. Just be a blast when you get it tweaked! Enjoy... :auto:

Wow, that does sound like a great setup. Sure bets the heck out of an old wornout quadrajet. :cool:
