Wayne,
Did I tell you about the brown dash ( The Fix ). 1/2 leather conditioner and
1/2 of 15+ cheap sun tan lotion. Mix and apply with a moist cloth on a warm
day, and watch the brown go away. You may have to do it 2 or 3 times. Worked
on mine. :-)

Subject: Re: HELP!...idle & trans. trouble
Richard,
The DeLorean is equipped with a Constant "automatic" Idle Speed System; the
idle is basically non-adjustable. Most high idle problems are a result of an
electrical malfunction in this circuit or out of alignment throttle
component.
Most auto transmission shifting problems are due to a defective Governor
Computer.

Subject: Re: back firing, no start
David,
My canister in the pontoon also had the cap (almost) missing from the port
that has no hose connected. It was rotten and just about to fall off. And
the cap certainly wasn't doing it's job, but the engine still ran fine
anyway. So I doubt this is your problem. I put a new cap on my empty port
since I felt that this may have been a fire hazard. Caps are easy and cheap
to come by. You might also want to check to be sure the hose at the bottom
of the canister hasn't come loose and is also venting out the bottom of the
pontoon. It's probably not a good idea to let gasoline vapors accumulate in
the pontoon.
Even with all of your vacuum lines disconnected, I think your engine should
still run okay at idle. Y'all correct me if I'm wrong. The vacuum just
advances the distributor after the engine is warmed up and enriches the fuel
mixture while the engine is cold.
I can't help you with the distributor since I have no experience (yet) with
the Delorean ignition. Perhaps you have the plug wires on in the wrong
firing order or you managed to get the rotor on wrong.
Hope this helps,
Walt Tampa, FL

Subject: Re: Pleasant Experience/DMCenter
I don't believe that there are only "2 types of people" when it comes
to maintaining a vehicle. I myself want my car to stay on the road
and I will achieve that via proper maintenance. But I do look for a
good deal on quality parts where available. Does this mean
I'm "cheap"? I suppose in some ways it does, though I prefer the term
thrifty. But that doesn't mean that I myself or folks like me don't
care about our cars. But if one of my options is to buy a used/lesser
part that will not last as long or be as reliable a new one, of
course I will purchase a new/better part. I don't think it's fair to
try and judge someone by the size of thier reciepts rather then the
outcome of thier vehicles. By this way of thinking utilizing used
parts pulled from a car in a "DMC scrap yard" means that you must not
care as much about your car as other people because you didn't spend
all the money you possibly could by purchasing brand new parts. The
point of my post is not intended as a personal attack on anyone, but
to show that there are "black or white" sides to this debate.

Subject: Re: HELP!...idle & trans. trouble
Richard, Idle is not adjustable except by the ECU unit. If your idle is above
2000 rpm, the the ECU idle unit may be bad. Cost for that is around
$235.00+/- a few dollars. If it's good then the Idle speed motor could be
bad. Or by checking it out you might have a bad fuse. Check those obvious
things first. If you think it turnes out to be the ECU or the motor, Let me
know, I have repaired two of them. ECU that is.

Subject: Re: back firing, no start
David, Didn't you have the distributor out. If so you need to re establish
TDC with #1 cyl piston at the top and re stab the distributor two #1. If not
then loosen the bolt that holds down the distributor and turn it a few
degrees either way. When it trys to start then you know your going the right
way. If you run out of turning, due to plug wires. Then it's a re stab. It's
just out of sink with TDC or so far to out of alignment.

Subject: Re: HELP!...idle & trans. trouble
You need to separate the idle problem from the trans problem.Check
the
vacum line that runs down to the modulater valve and while you are at
it check all of the vacum hoses. If that doesn't help the trans
problem it could be the valve body or more likely the shift
computer.Make sure that the three screws on the intake are
closed.Make
sure that the throttle is hitting the idle switch.Try these simple
things first also look over the engine compartment in general for
loose or disconnected things, hoses that fell off or kinked, burned
or
loose connectors etc.

Subject: Delorean on "Car and Driver"
Within about 3 to 4 weeks Car and Driver will feature the Delorean on
Classic Retrospectives.
Just returned from a day of shooting my car for the program and ,hopefully,
the car is going to be featured in the manner that the car is ... well
designed, excellent performer, still more on the road (per percentage
produced) than most any other car ever produced and performing well, a
credit to John Delorean on the car's 20th anniversary.
Car and Driver staff really put the car through the tasks on the road and
should have some good road shots. Needless to say the staff and film crew
were impressed with the handling and stability of the car and found it as
much a joy to drive as I have always found it to be. Drove the car to
Nashville and back, about 800 plus miles and never a problem, just sheer
pleasure. Took some less traveled roads and not always the interstate - a
great way for
" living the dream".
I hope all the positives of the car come across and that I did nothing to
embarrass such a great car. For those of you interested in seeing the
program I will post the first airing which I am to be informed of as soon
as it is in the schedule. If I screwed up on anything, Be Kind. I tried
to infect anyone viewing with my love of the car and the joy of ownership.
What a day it was working those guys at Car and Driver.

Try the following test to determine that the rotor is oriented correctly.
Check the timing with a regular timing light and see if cylinder #1 is

Subject: Re: Re Dash Mat
The reason that the dashboard goes brown under the Dash Mat is due to a
design which allows air to pass through the mat to provide a non
restrictive sound path for dash mounted speakers. Unfortunately this design
allows ultra violet rays to pass through the materiel causing the DeLorean
gray dash to turn brown. This problem can be eliminated by placing a light
blocking materiel between the mat and the dash with openings at the speaker
locations.

Subject: DMC-12 in Phoenix
Well, I looked at a potential DeLorean for myself today. I is an '81
(aug 81 build date, number 3425. It has 14k miles on it, and the
owner is asking less than $12,000 for it. The interior is immaculate,
with 2 loose trim pieces and a very small area of wear on the drivers
seat being the only damage. The bodywork is all immaculate, save a
small (less than 1") scratch on the front drivers side fender, and a
few little chips in the paint on the louvers. The frame is very good,
only showing a few places where the epoxy has come off, and almost no
rust. (what rust there is, is mainly on the tie-downs) The engine is
clean, runs smoothly, and strongly. The car rides smoothly, with no
noises, no transmission bugs, and no noticeable problems. The doors
don't sag, and there are no electrical problems.
The only gripes I have are the fact that the front tires need to be
replaced (they are a bit old), and a few minor cosmetic items. I am
fairly sure that the alternator needs to be changed, too. I'll be
honest with everyone. I had a hard time tearing myself away from it.
It certainly seems to me, to be a great buy. I'd expect to pay
upwards of $15 grand for this car.
Now here's an interesting question. When members of this list
purchased their cars (especialy those who bought them recently), how
much grief did the banks / financial institutions give you over
financing a car that age? My bank is asking for a 20% down payment,
an insurance binder for full coverage, with a $250 deductible, a copy
of the bill of sale, photographs of the car (front, rear, both sides
and interior) and an inspection report. Did you all have to provide
that? If not, can anyone reccomend a place that is actualy FRIENDLY
towards people purchasing DeLoreans? My bank is just giving me a
really hard time. I can understand a lot of what they are asking for,
but the attitude (why are you paying so much for such an old car?) is
really annoying. I'd like to be able to get my loan and get my car
easily, with less personality hassle. :P
Thanks, DMCers

Bill, I noticed that no one sent you any info on your temp problem.
The voltage on the 81 diagram comes off the #5 fuse going to the temp
gauge. But the temp sending unit is what moves the needle as temp
goes up and down.The same #5 voltage also operates several other
things.Check the ground and if that is ok then the sending unit may
be bad.Item 246 is the buzzer logic box for the seat belts and its

Subject: Report: Ohio Event (and New Towing Service)
Last Saturday, the DeLorean Club of Ohio held a Fall Colors Tour and Tech
session in Central Ohio, hosted by Dave Bauerle. The Autumn colors were
vivid and the sun shone in perfect weather as DeLoreans from all over Ohio
(and beyond) converged on the small town of Radnor.
Radnor is about half an hour out of Columbus, near the Scioto River. This
area is mostly flat, giving the river a shallow valley where colorful trees
mix with corn-filled fields. Our touring DeLoreans wound their way up and
down both banks, around a lake and across a dam. Many thanks to Dave and
Amy Bauerle for arranging a wonderful tour on a perfect day.
Bauerle Automotive is a great place for a tech session. It is one of the
biggest and newest buildings in Radnor. One thing Radnor has plenty of is
open space, and if he needed to, Dave could probably park 100 DeLoreans at
his place.
In addition to the ten DeLoreans that joined us for different parts of the
day, he had about a dozen in for service in various stages of repair,
several on lifts. He even had a unique chance to talk about body repair,
thanks to the recent arrival of panels from Dave Stragand's Vixen, in for
cosmetic repair. (Hey, Dave S., for the most part those stainless panels
already look pretty good to me).
After the tour and tech session, Dave and Amy treated us to a wonderful
picnic on the shop's spacious front lawn. Surrounded by Autumn splendor,
with appropriate decorations and table settings, we enjoyed their gracious
hospitality of burgers and homemade potato salad. I am happy to report that
in addition to being a top DeLorean mechanic, Dave Bauerle is pretty handy
with a grill.
I can't end this report without a final FYI for DeLorean owners:
During the afternoon, Dave Bauerle showed off his two shiny new flatbed tow
trucks. The new flatbeds are light gray and silver, making them the perfect
chariots on which a DeLorean might take a ride. He calls this service
DEL-CO Towing.
Of course none of our DeLoreans needed a tow on Saturday. But anyone
driving their DeLorean through OH, IN, KY, PA, or MI might be glad to know
that, (heaven forbid!) if your DeLorean breaks down, Dave Bauerle is ready
to rescue you.

Many years ago I had Don (& Don Eitleman, now deceased) repair my DeLorean after
a horrendous accident. The repair was not only flawless, but Don Steger took me
for a drive in my car and pointed out things that, while not required for safety
nor concourse aesthetics, were none-the-less present. He knew that, since I was
from Washington state, I might never patronize his business again, but he took
over an hour of driving time to show me just what my car could and should do.
Don Steger is a class act. I will (and do) recommend his service facility any
chance that I can. I consider him a friend.

Subject: A/C and Freeon
DMCers,
I have a couple of questions about Airconditioners for the group:
- If I have a leak of Freeon in my A/C system could I smell it in the car
(...smells like)?
- If I have a leak, is Freeon dangerous to breathe?
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers, IAN (Vins. 0780, 1205, & 6425)
