Subject: Stainless Coolant bottle
Just got my new bottle from Rob and I'm looking for any advise on
putting it in. It looks very straight forward. The only questions I
have are
1. when you take off the lower hose there will be some coolant loss
coming out of the bottle. Do I suction out as much as I can prior to
removing the lower hose to eliminate it from puring out?
2. Once new bottle is installed I'll refill with coolant, is there are
problem doing this procedure with getting air in the system or is this
change beyond the place where air can get in and cause overheating
problems?
Thanks
Tom

Subject: RE: Door Launcher Answers / Bob Zilla
Bob,
Great on the door launchers and you seem to be thinking of everything, so I
assume you will have designed a safety feature of NOT being able to activate
the mechanism, accidentally while driving down the highway at 88 MPH!! I
have a pocketfull of remotes for various purposes and there is one in
particular that gives me fits. One remote hits the other in my pocket and
my garage door sometimes closes when I shove all those remotes in my pocket
at once. So far I have been careful to wait a second before backing out. I
have remotes for starting two cars, plus door lock/unlocks, lights, alarm
systems etc, garage door openers plus ditto for the house bolt locks. Its
ironic that my grandson is always having me "show off" my key chain, which
has NO keys on it any more!

Subject: slightly off-tune? what to do?
Hey all,
my D's been running quite nicely lately, but there's just one little thing
that could be better, performance-wise. here's the symptoms:
on the coldest of cold starts the engine doesn't seem to have any power for
the first couple of blocks. it won't give any power even though the RPM
gauge shows that the engine speed is increasing, and i can hear it revving
up. but the car doesn't move in proportion to that as it does when it gets
warmed up (after only about 3 blocks). also the first couple of shifts into
2nd gear are jerky because the car isn't moving fast enough so the shift
doesn't "make sense" even though the RPM's are up there. remember - after
about 3 blocks or so (with stop signs at each end of the block), this problem
clears up completely. the next symptom is that no matter how warmed up the
engine is, when accelerating i can hear this nasal-y sound like 'waaah' for
about half a second coming from the engine, especially noticeble in 2nd gear
because it tends to be quieter as far as engine noise than 1st gear. 3rd
gear it doesn't happen too often. when i remove my air cleaner cover and
filter housing i can hear a whistle of air coming through the air meter
plate, it doesn't sound normal. my exhaust smells pretty thick with gas, it
is gray in color when you can see it on cold evenings, and i don't notice any
dark clouds coming out. but it quite putrid smelling. i run 91 octane gas.
finally, i just got my idle microswitch-tripping screw adjusted so that it
always idles at 950 rpm or so when you are in neutral or the clutch is in at
a stop sign or light. the idle fluctuates slightly a few RPM up and down
(even when warmed up so i know it's not still 'seeking') and it doesn't sound
quite 'right'. it doesn't 'purr' perfectly steady i guess is the best way of
saying it. however, the engine never backfires or misfires. it runs like it
should but it doesn't feel like it is in perfect tuning. please note that my
fuel system is more or less brand new. my CO screw was adjusted by a tech at
a local porsche and BMW dealer however at that time i was running 89 octane
if that makes a difference.
any good ideas on what to check? is my CO adjustment just a little bit off?
i hate that thing and would rather not play with it unless that's the
problem. could someone explain if they think i'm too rich or too lean, and
tell me how to adjust it?
thanks!

Nick & Group...
That car on ebay is a little strange... anybody notice the funky
panel in the interior shot? Very unnerving, since the guy selling it
says it's all original...
it looks like the original ac vent/radio/climate control panel was
swapped out... the climate controls are completely screwed up... it
looks like a more traditional (aka UGLY) looking vertical/horizontal
slider position assemb. at the bottom of the panel...
also check out the padded defininately not-stock panel from which the
gearshift comes up. Check it out... VERY strange...

Subject: Erratic wipers
Got caught in the rain last night, and my wipers started acting goofy. Heard
a noise from under the left dash like a squeaking or rubbing sound and the
wipers stopped moving. Then started up again for a few wipes then quit.
Always stopped at the bottom of the wipe, I think. Squeaks came and went. I
tried all three settings: fast, slow and intermittent with the same results.
(BTW, I DO know how the intermittent wipe feature works... :) this was not
it. It would stop for a full minute or two then wipe a few times, then quit.)
I don't recall ever reading anything about this on the list, and my computer
likes to crash when I hop from link to link such as in the DML files. Any
ideas?

Also, in addition to my dash gauge lights suddenly not working and the
AC Panel lights staying on, the right rear tail light has stopped
working. I already have the upgraded circuit boards, have checked the
bulbs, and checked the contacts on to the board.
Also, the front right marker light is out, but I assume that this is
just a bulb issue, but have yet to investigate.
Any suggestions?

… I have been having some trouble with my “baby”
The LCD screen on my Craig Radio is not displaying properly ..
It was working find up until a couple days ago .. any suggestions to fix
this… if I push the screen somewhat inwards .. as if I was putting a
cassette tape in the deck .. all the lights come on .. but if I let it
go .. some of them turn off ..
My second problem is my temperature gauge .. I have had the small
upgrade done from PJ grady .. that is the new fuses in the fuse box with
the wire connections ..
The temp gauge works on some days .. and just hangs on others ..
tempremental …

Chronic issue. Best thing is to NOT use the tape deck if you want to
preserve the display. The original flex circuit will NOT hold up for
long. Here are some hints on how to fix it if you are electronically
inclined.

Subject: Re: slightly off-tune? what to do?
Although I'm not all that knowledgeable about the automatic transmission
used in the DeLorean it seems as if that your transmission is probably
slipping when the weather is very cold.
It is conceivable that the fliud is low, or perhaps the wrong type.
Unfortunately some other possibilities are worn clutches / bands or the
control valving.
Hope that all helps,
George Ryerson

John Hervey in Dallas, and Les out of California. Email me privatly for the

As far as the temp gauge, what did P.J. Grady say about it or did it just

Subject: Overheating...
Dear group,
I have had me DeLorean for almost four years now. Within the last 6 to 9
months I have noticed a particularly irritating habit it has. I drive it
alot of the time, as it is one of my daily drivers. However I seldom take it
on the highway, I mostly just drive stop ang go around the city. Anyway,
when I do drive it at highway speeds it overheats rather quickly. I can
drive surface streets all day, but hit the local bypass and up the gauge
goes. Anybody have any ideas? Someone suggested that maybe at continuous
speeds the water pump is collapsing a hose. Sounds like a long shot but who
knows? Anyway I would like to get it fixed before the holidays as I plan on
traveling with it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Subject: Frame repair needed...
Since I've picked up my DeLorean I've had a chance to get it on a
lift and look over the entire car and the word is things are pretty
good... mostly. Looks like I need to replace the front part of the
frame, just fore of the front control arms. I'll have a better
opinion after I have the body shop look at it. As is I'm trying not
to drive it and driving it carefully when I asolutely cant help
myself. The front supports for the radiator and sway arms are rusted
along the bottom. The front right is the worst as it had rusted
completely through along the seam. The top and side portions are
very solid so I'm not sure if I can patch it or I should replace the
entire piece. If anyone has a section of frame from the control arms
forward, or including the control arms, pleas contact me off-list as
I would be interested in purchasing it.

Subject: Overheating .. surprise..
Since I have had the DeLorean I've experienced the common overheating
woes. The car runs extremely cool most of the time, rarely going
past the second temperature gauge mark. It usually will only begin
to overheat after highway driving and I return to the regular
streets. I've had "spectators" point out that I have antifreeze
running or at times they say "pouring" out the back, and after
driving the fluid is very low and the car is wet around the overflow
hose. It seems that when driving I'm blowing a lot of coolant out
the overflow before the engine begins to overheat. Loss of coolant
seems to be the cause of my overheating instead of the by-product.
I've checked the overflow cap and it vents at or slightly above 15lbs
and will hold fine at pressures below that. I do have the plastic
overflow tank and it appears to be in good shape. I've also
installed the self-bleeding kit to the system. Also there are no
leaks elsewhere in the system (via visual inspection). I have two
suspicions and I'd like some advise:
1) Is it possible/probable that the plastic tank is deformed an not
allowing the cap to seat properly? (Is there a pressure testor that
doesn't use the overflow tank opening to attach?)
2) I have a head gasket leak allowing blow-by to enter the cooling
system at the head. (This wouldn't necessarily show up in a cooling
system pressure test as the cylinder pressure is much higher and the
blow-by may only go one way)
Any help or experience in this area would be appreciated, we all know
how important/fun it is to have a reliable car to drive!

Subject: Re: slightly off-tune? what to do?
I would look at the ignition system (spark plugs and wires) for any
signs of weakness, arcing and voltage breakdown. Assuming you have an
automatic check the line pressure adjustment as per G:05:03. It is
very likely that you have a defective trans filter or low fluid. It is
very bad on the trans to drive it if it is slipping. I would also have
the fuel mixture checked again as per D:04:01-03. Check the trans
fluid as per G:04:02. Don't forget to also check the final drive fluid
level as it is a separate compartment unlike the 5-speed.(G:05:01)

A thousand bucks to get remote door openers and locks??? You've gotta be
kidding. I know the Zilla products are good, and would never knock them.
But for those of you who can't quite afford that, there is already a remote
door opening kit (which includes door unlock) that has been on the market
for years. It adds only ounces of weight per door, not 3 pounds, and does
not require torsion bar adjustment. I'm not sure why Rob/Bob are using
heavier solenoids since I shared my how-to info with them years ago. Maybe
they feel solenoids are more reliable than my actuators, but I have never
had one fail. The kit is easy to install and retails for under $200. Check
out delorean-parts.com or e-mail me for information.

Andy, One thing at a time so the post won't be to long. Automatic
tranmission, cold weather the valve body where all the fluid moves thru may
have some blockage. I had the same problem with another car, not a delorean.
Try this to confirm. When you first crank it up, put the transmission in 1st
and see if it shifts ok by going thru the gears manually, 1st,2nd,3rd. if it
does shift this way, then the valve body needs cleaning and maby new seals
and gaskets inside it. A good transmission man should know this.

stop by PJ Grady...the Hamptons....and then a road rally on Shelter
island...fun for everyone! Please consider coming to this great event if you
can. This is the second event Mike De Luca has set up, and last years event
was great! Maybe we can get him to make this an annual thing! For details
about the schedule and hotel reservations, please e-mail Mike De Luca
directly.... Turbodmc(at)hotmail.com. Also a little plug for me...this is
going to be my first event WITH my car since I just got it on the road after
doing a complete and I do mean complete frame off restoration. I'll have
plenty of pics to show off too! Thats all for now hope to see a lot of D
