Scott,
First I would look at the rubber boots covering the spark plugs. If they leak
then water will be in the spark plug holes. Blow out and drive on, but
sometime replace the wires with a good seal. My second choice is the dist cap.

In removing my fron fascia I broke some of the rusted out bolts on my

it's not a huge deal, but if there's anything I can do outside of
replacing the spoiler, I'd like to know.

Is this water getting into the distributor? If not, what's happened?
Thanks!!

-----------------------------------------------------
If you don't have the correct sparkplug wires or they are not sealed
correctly around the sparkplug holes, you will get water in the sparkplug
holes causing a miss. It is very unlikely that you have gotten water in the
distributor. With it's placement, it is covered by the engine lid keeping
the elements away from it.

Hi Nate-
Where in PA are you starting out from? You could probably link up with a D
owner or two to give it a quick once over Watch your temp and oil pressure
carefully. Driving it around the block is different from going 70 mph on the
Penna Turnpike for hours on end. Actually, I think I wouldn't go above 50,
especially if the tires are the original NCT's. I'd stay off the Turnpike
altogether, in case of problems. DeLoreans aren't any worse than any other
18 year old car, but you'll be pushing it to the limits for probably the
first time in years. Your coolant hoses probably have some minor leaking.
Check clutch and brake fluids levels before you blast off. If you detect any
problems on the road, park it! My Neon's temp gauge redlined on I-95 in
Philadelphia, and I didn't expect it... or notice it until a buzzer went off.
Who expects that in a 5 year old car? (I told my wife we should've been
driving my dependable DeLorean!) I had to have the head replaced on the
Neon. OWWW! $$$$ Just be careful until you've checked it out personally,
and replaced the old rubber and header bottle, if it's still the plastic one.
The adventure begins!

Why in the world would you want to FORCE someone to take your money (provide
insurance coverage)? We can all attest to the fact that there ARE companies
that are very happy to provide DeLorean coverage.
If you are planning limited driving (3,000 miles/year) take a look at the
specialty insurers like Hagerty that will provide stated value, full coverage
for $300/year or less.

Subject: Re: Steering Column help
Funny, when I was looking to purchase a DeLorean 7 years ago, one of the
first cars I drove felt odd because the steering wheel was so low. I
asked the owner if it was adjustable, he said no.
It just seem very odd that it would be that low, so I looked under the
column to see if something was broken. Sure enough, there was a little
back dial used to loosen the clamp and make the column adjustable!
As far as I know, all DeLoreans have this.

Subject: Re: Front Spoiler
Jon, I just went through the same thing with my spoiler and rear fascia. What I did was I went to the hardware store and bought some stainless screws at the same thread size. I then cut the heads off, and had them tig welded to a little rectangle piece of stainless steel. It matched the same size of the piece that was in the spoiler. I then carefully cut out the old ones with a Dremel tool by cutting 3 of the four sides, peeled back the rubber material, slipped in the new stainless ones in their place, and folded the rubber material back over. Tadaa!! Stainless steel replacements. On the rear fascia, I had to cut the rubber material away totally, and epoxy those stainless pieces in. It's working perfectly! If you have access to someone who can weld stainless steel, you're in good shape. The pieces I made look similar to the pieces PJ Grady offers for the wind deflectors that are underneath the car. Those replace the rusty bolts that hold up the deflectors with 3 stainless bolts welded to a single strip of satinless steel. Same concept. If anyone needs any more info, e-mail me directly.

I'm not an afficionado of DeLoreans, but for those who are or who have
experienced quite a few days with one, answer me this;
How often does the DeLorean overheat with the stock fan cooling system? How
often does it fail? Is the FanZilla something I should purchase immediately
when I buy one?
Thanks!

P.S. Again, the steering column thing was very helpful. My knees feel much

Subject: My good road trip experience!
Hey Gang
Have a good story to share with the list over the past
weekend i drove up to NJ from Washington DC to work
with Dan (danrc30) on getting in my new Recarro seats
put in! I had no experience mounting with new seats
and Dan had already performed the entired procedure on
his delorean with the exact same seats!
Firstly id like to thank dan who took an entire day
and evening to design/install custom brackets he made
and give them to me for my new seats and not ask for s
penny!
My trip started out a mess and driving the 4 hours to
NJ with 2 rather large seats taking up the entire
cabin and providing me with NO VISIBILTY except out of
the drivers side and front was pretty crazy! #10854
ran smooth the whole way thanks to Rob grady and his
new suspension Kit (which i wholey recommend if your
replacing your suspension)
The only hicup i experienced was a lead came off my
ignition coil and stranded me on a VERY busy VERY
narrow strip of I-95 shoulder (it was so narrow i was
scared to even open the door). Took me about 5 mins
to figure out what happened.. (which previously took
me a whole month a massive phone bills to DMC-joe)
Anyways reattached the wire and off i went.
Got up to NJ and met dan... who btw is a extremely
nice and very into deloreans (ask him about what hes
doing to his car right now JEEZ!)
The big word of that day was luck, we needed parts for
the electrical harness that powers the FULLY electric
seats and other odds and ends. So a trip over to
radio shack was in order. We get there and OMg they
were closed at 6pm on a saturday, this was not good..
if we didnt get those parts.. my trip was for nothing
or i would have had to crash out at dans place till
sunday.
Dan banged on the store window and a reluctant store
worker emerged from the back and after explaining our
situation let us in to get the parts! Whew...
We worked (more like i watched... dan worked) till
evening exeprienced a couple more close calls with
wrong parts or ill fittings, but managed to either
customize or substitute out the problems.
The job was finished around 9pm and DAMN, I really
must say that having new up-to-date seats makes a HELL
of a difference to the car. Firstly im not the
tallest and biggest of guys (5'8/135p) and i always
felt like i was one of those grannies barely seeing
over the steering wheel. The new seats and brackets
raise the seats about a Inch and provide hell of a lot
better visibility. Before whenever i looked out the
side window i had a bigass bar blocking my view.. now
im just over it and get a better picture of whats
going on.
Also the seats are super conforming and i had always
felt that the stock seats just sucked.. they dont
provide any lateral or lumbar support.. whenever i
would take a turn i would feel like i was sliding out.
NOT ANYMORE. Im glued in.. It total feels like they
should have come stock with the car. They also
provide alot more shock dampering.. combined with the
new shocks.. the ride is smoooth.. no more jarring or
bucking around. Finally best of all the seats match
my grey interior PERFECTLY and Just give the interiour
a nice modern look.
Needless to say the ride home was THE best ride i have
ever had in the car. So a big thanks to Danrc30 for
helping me out! Anyway thought this fit in as a good
Delorean story.

Subject: microswitch and idleing
Hello,
I finally got my car running again after it stalled in the street last
week. My car will only stay running when the full throttle microswitch(parts
manual 2/3/0 #15) is depressed. When I bought my car there was a bread tie
around it keeping it pressed in. when the car is running and you take the
bread tie off, the car will go to a VERY low idle and the car will shake and
eventually die out.
Why does it go down to such a low idle? The microswith triggers the
acceleration enrichment circuit, right? I can here it start to buzz when I
press the switch down. any ideas on how to get my car to idle correctly. It
idles pretty high with the switch on all the time. the car will not be
driven for a few more months But I would like to get this figured out.
Thanks in advance

Try adjusting your CO to a more richer setting. This will get your engine to

Subject: D's for sale (kinda silly)
Dear list,
I was surfing the other day on yahoo classifieds and came across
a "GMC" Delorean for sale. Taking great offence to this I wrote the
person(s) with the correct "DMC". I just checked and found this in
reply. This is just as I got it and is all I know:
Thanks for your info. Our add agency cant read our writing or made
a type "o". Well try and get it corrected. This vehicle has a
deposit on it at this time. We do however have two more for sale.
One auto with 24k on it and one stick with 8k miles on it. If you
are interested please call for details or E-M me with your # and I'll
call you. Thanks again for your interest. Hope to hear from you
soon. Ron Fortune. 316-263-2247
PS: As you probably know GMC isnt too remote as John Delorean was
with GM for years as I think he helped on the Corvair and the Ferio
was his invention. A great man with vision.
OK I'm back. Was John involved with the corvair? I seem to recall
him being in the (ill fated) Vega thing but not Corvair. what about
the Fiero? It looks very similar to our beloved beauties but...
Anyway, I'm rambling now so till next time...
Stay Stainless,
The DMC Wannabe
P.S. Hey Tom you said you wanted a low mileage stick D. Heres your
chance. One is a stick with 8k, give Ron a call and let me know how
it turns out OK?

Subject: Reliable, Automatic D wanted
Well, I'm finally ready to commit. I am looking for
a reliable automatic D. Preferrably an 81' with
black interior. I am really interested in the car
having all of the safety updates done on it already.
Things like the relays, Fanzilla, Lockzilla, etc...
I plan on enjoying this car the way it was intended
to be enjoyed....by driving it! Very low mileage
trailer queens needed not apply.
I am willing to travel to come pick up the car,
probably as far as 15 hours driving time (I live in
MD). So Alabama, for instance, is not out of the
question.
I would really like to buy a car from someone on
the list...rather than take my chances with a dealer
or an "investor". I'd like to buy one from a real
DMC fan.
Unlike most of the other "wanted" posts the list
gets, I am not looking to get a D on the cheap. I
realize what the going rate(s) are.
Thanks in advance.

Hank,
Thefts and attempted thefts of DeLoreans are very rare. Most standard theft
methods do not apply to the DeLorean. The doorlock system is virtually pick
proof, the ignition and electrical set-up are totally unfamiliar to most car
thieves. In dealing with DeLoreans since 1983 I don't know of any incident
of thefts or attempted theft of a DeLorean.

Bruce Benson, this weeks moderator
To ALL:
To all interested DML list members and our moderators -
It appears that the ISP provider for Radiance Software/Totalimmersion LLC
has gone belly
up stranding most of it's ISP clients. I have had no end of problem with
this ISP as many of the limited edition owners know. Over the week end
ISPChannel simply shut down their servers and dumped all its clients
Internet and e-mail files.
This means that all the limited edition mail and replies over the week end
and up until about an hour ago were lost for ever.
Ken Montgomery and I have spent all day attempting to correct what we
thought was our problem only to discover that the ISPChannel simply decided
not to be in the provider business and pulled the plug. Radiance and
Totalimmersion are for all practical purposes out of business on the
Internet until a new provider can be found, domain name transfers completed
and setting up all new sites.
Ken has managed to get ISPChannel to set up Radiance for a few days as an
accommodation (probably to avoid facing legal consequences).
Please: if you have sent me e-mail regarding your edition or expected to
hear from me over the past 5 days, expect that those e-mails were dumped
and lost for ever.
Please: don't worry as soon as Ken and I get moved and e-mail running we
will announce it here.
I will re-post all the replies that may not have gotten sent. I will
continue to finish up the old edition and setting up the extension. Again
if you were becoming an edition owner or had questions, all that will pick
up when I have on-line e-mail access again.
I apologize to the list members for having to use this forum and the waist
of time but I don't know of any other fast fix for the problem, and did not
want any edition owners to feel I was just not bothering to reply or answer
edition questions.
Thanks again.......

I made some Windows Backgrounds from the 16 page brochure. They are the pictures with the blue background (Front, Rear, Side, and Frame). What I did was smooth out the blue color so it was solid. That way if you have a large monitor, you can center the picture and then set the background colors to RED 79, GREEN 128, BLUE 191. The result is that you cannot tell where the picture ends and background begins. You must be running at least 16 bit resolution.
If you're like me and have to have a tidy looking desktop, then these are for you. They are posted in the vault as "Brochure Backgrounds.zip" Approx 1.2Mb. http://www.egroups.com/files/dmcnews/Brochure+Backgrounds.zip
Enjoy,
Ryan
