Subject: Re: Steering wheel removal
Sorry John, but I strongly disagree - all that's required is a force
that pulls the wheel off in a strait line. I believe the threads are M6
and go to a depth of about 10mm. In addition to my last post, the large
bolt that pushes onto the end of the column should be sharpened into a
point as this locates it centrally.
The contraption James made has worked on 100% of cars tested (numbering
three so far) and none could be removed without it.
Paul, can you bring it with you to the NEC this Sunday - I'll take a

Subject: no start problem
Alright. Let's see who can figure this one out.
My car will turn over but not start. When I turn the key, I can hear the fuel
pump energize and pump for a second or two. If I shoot some starting fluid or
pour some gas down the intake, she fires up immediately and will run for a short
period of time until the gas is used up. Any ideas?
On a side note, I was driving through my small neighborhood the other day and
saw a couple of guys pushing a Pantera off to the side of the road. I stopped to
help them and the dude said, "Man, she runs fine and then she'll just die on me
out of the blue." I said, "Yeah, I know the feeling." Then he told me about some
overheating problems he was having and I said, "Yeah, I know the feeling." He
went on to mention that he's had numerous electrical gremlins and I said, "Yeah,
I know the feeling. I have a Delorean."
The whole event made me feel a lot better about all the problems I have with my
damnable car until he told me that he only paid $500 for the Pantera. SOB.

Subject: The Resurrection of Vixen Continues...
Hi All,
It seems I have a rather unusual electrical problem with my door locks. and I was hoping some of you electronics gurus might be able to shed some insight onto the situation.
With the ignition -on-, both door locks function normally and correctly. However, with the ignition -off-, all I am able to do is lock the doors. Unlock fails to function.
I was able to track down the situation to this: With the doors locked and key on, the voltage in the brown/pink wire is 13 volts. With the key off, it drops to .75 volts. Thus, there is not enough juice in the circuit to fire off the unlock process. (For reference, I find the purple wire is always 13v, and the brown/silver is 13v (key on or off) with the doors in the unlocked position.)
I followed the wiring diagram's "NK" wires all over the place... they lead to the solenoids, door lock switches, and the inertia switch. I tried all of the following to no avail:
- Disconnecting each door's wiring completely at the T-panel.
- Disconnecting each door's switch and solenoids on an individual basis
- Unplugging the inertia switch
- Re-grounding the inertia switch.
- (By the way, tripping the inertia switch -will- unlock the doors... but can't remember right now if it did so with the key off as well. It is an updated/relocated switch with the white paint on it.)
- Cleaned all of the contacts I could find with Tarn-X (thanks Bob Zilla for the tip)
- Replaced new Lockzilla with old module, swapped back
Something is very odd here that I just can't figure out. Any ideas what I'm missing, or ideas on what to check?

Hello,
Well, my wife and I decided to move. We've had enough of this West
Michigan life. Its time to see other things, so we have decided to
move to Philadelphia. Although it won't be until November or so, I'd
like to get a couple of Delorean contacts out there so I can have a
couple of friends already there when I move. So, are there any
Delorean owners on the list that live in or around Philly? Sadly, I
won't be bringing the Delorean with me. Its going to be stored in
Holland, Michigan.
Please contact me off list. It would be great to hear from some of
you.

[Steve: If you haven't already do so, list your car in the for sale area on the list web site. Bruce B., this weeks moderator]
My '81 #3302 is available for sale in Charleston, SC. I am firm at $18.8K, until August. The car is now nearly flawless and Memphis-ready, having had every conceivable item checked, rebuilt or reconditioned. It is being sold only because I need a replacement daily driver more than I need the "D."
A detailed list of repairs, upgrades and restorations done in 2002 is available for serious buyers, with photos. It is a TON of stuff, *easily* exceeding $10,000 if done by a mechanic/trim shop.
Please inquire *only* if you can afford to purchase a restored DeLorean at this price - or let me know in your message that you're just kicking tires.
I also have a number of new and used parts available which I have listed on the www.dmcnews.com site.
My e-mail is stevepeck1(at)yahoo.com.
Thanks.

There are many ways to check for a blown headgasket, but the most
fool proof is to have the oil drained; antifreeze will be in the oil.
Another reason headgaskets blow (besides overheating) is not changing
the anti-freeze. Antifreeze turns acidic over time and will eat the
gaskets. A headgasket leak sometimes happens after you change the
anti-freeze, the new coolant finds the weak gaskets. Replacing the
gaskets is a pretty big job, if you have it done and the heads are OK
it's about $1000.00

Gary,
You said:
"In other words, band-aids are unacceptable. I'm amazed at what
D owners live with, I've no interest in owning a maintenance pig that needs
frequent attention."
I have probably done more research on the DeLorean electrical system than
anyone. My R&D Delorean has a completely modified wiring and circuit layout
from the factory original. Yes; I agree that the original electrical system
has many design and component flaws. Over the years all of the established
DeLorean vendors have designed and or sold products that will compensate for
the original factory problems.
Modifying the circuit design including wiring changes to the original set up
is just not practical for the average owner. Most DeLorean owners have
problems finding a place that will change their oil much less finding a
reliable service facility that can modify their electrical system.
The facts are that most owners who have installed the upgrades that are
available from us and the other vendors are able to completely eliminate the
original problems with a modest investment and the convenience of
do-it-yourself installation.
Products like the FanZilla, Tankzilla, Overheat Protector, and others are
not band-aid fixes. They are easy to install, require no maintenance, and do
exactly what they were designed to do.
My colleges and I, in our continuing efforts to improve the DeLorean
mechanical and electrical systems, appreciate your knowledge and input in
finding ways to improve the reliability and serviceability of the DeLorean
automobile.

Subject: Clunk (not TAB or axles)
I've been trying to figure out what my rear clunk sound is ever since I
bought my car. This year, I had the rear axles serviced, complete with new
cv boots and grease. Pushing the axles back and forth makes no clunk. I
also just had the famous Toby Bolts installed. My old TABs weren't bent at
all and actually looked like they were in pretty good shape. The new bolts
put my mind to rest a little better.
But still I have the clunk. It hasn't changed at all over the past 2
years, so although it's not getting worse, none of what I've done has made
it even marginally better.
The way my clunk works is that if turn right twice, I'll only hear it the
first time. Then when I go back to the left it'll come back. This even
happens at extremely slow speeds, usually when the car's weight is shifted
(speed bumps, driveway enterances).
I remember someone mentioning that clunking might be fixed by tightening
body bolts, but was unable to find the message in the archives. Where are
these bolts?
Does anyone else have any suggestions? I'm sure that as common as this
problem is, someone must have an answer. :)

Subject: Cruise control pics up
A couple of months ago there was a discussion on cruise control for the DeLorean... and I promised to upload pics of the Dakota Digital cruise control that is installed in my car. Unfortunately I haven't been home until now to upload the pics (I am a college student). Well, here they are finally on the egroups site- http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews/lst?.dir=/Dakota+Cruise+Control+pics&.src="">
The first pic shows the control module for the system, which is mounted to the left of the engine. Notice the cable running out of it... it is routed through the rear fascia area and comes out of it right in front of the throtte spool.
The second picture shows the cable coming out of the rear fascia area, and the home engineering it took to get the cable attached to the throttle spool (notice the bracket).
The final picture shows the controls mounted on the console inside the car. I tried to take a closer picture, but couldn't get my digi cam to focus on the actual controls. Notice there are two switches... the left is for On/Off, the right is for increase/decrease speed.
Though I didn't install the system myself, please let me know if I can be of further help. I have more pics, and can take more by request. Sorry again for taking so long!

Subject: [ADMIN] List Etiquette
I've noticed an increasing number of people posting somewhat
anonymously. It makes for a somewhat tighter group if we all get in
the habit of signing posts, at least with a name rather than some
anonymous email ID. You'll also find that you are more likely to get
replies to your posts when you are somewhat "personalized" to the
group. It makes it easier to meet up at events and put names with
faces.
I'm not asking for VINS, a complete list of every car you've ever
owned, your webpage, your dogs, etc. just something to identify you.
Another thought - when requesting information on sources for things,
or trying to sell something, it helps if you state your location.

Subject: Re: Steering wheel removal
[moderators note: I think this subject has come pretty close to being beaten to death so with this post I'm ending this subject line. Bruce B. this week's moderator]
When I have a car with a steering wheel that is difficult to remove I
usually get them off in the following manner;
Put the steering wheel puller on and tighten up the screw so as to
put pressure on the wheel, not so tight as to strip out the puller
bolts,
Hit the puller screw with a heavy hammer, a couple of quick taps has
never failed to break the steering wheel loose. I have never seen
Lock-tite used on the wheel. The problem is the wheel is a taper-fit
onto the steering shaft and sometimes they can be stubborn getting it
to come apart. This trick also works on other taper fits like ball
joints and tie rod ends, the secret there is to have it held securely
so it can't move when struck with a hammer. I have also seen mechanics
use an air impact but the thought of stripping threads scares me too
much to do it that way.

Keep us informed as to your progress in improving the wiring so
everyone can benefit from your expertise. You are correct that not
everyone has the level of ability that you do so many of the
suggestions are at the novice level. On older cars filling the A/C by
weight isn't the best way because it can't take into account the aging
of the components in the system. I also am certified in A/C and have
found the best way is to fill by pressure and output temperature since
on the Delorean there is no sightglass. This is especially so if the
system isn't empty and you are just topping off.

So far all I seem to have is the compressor, pipes running to the front of

Both the main hoses are good they were checked when the body was off.

Not sure if this is your problem but it just happened to me today after

a way to slow it down. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had problems
with idle speed, please help!

Fellow List Members:
If anyone has step-by-step instructions for replacing the clutch slave and master cylinders, or know where I can get that information, I'd very much appreciate it. You may send it direct to me or to the list.

Subject: [DML] Cruise control pics up
> A couple of months ago there was a discussion on cruise control for the
DeLorean... and I promised to upload pics of the Dakota Digital cruise
control that is installed in my car. Unfortunately I haven't been home until
now to upload the pics (I am a college student). Well, here they are finally
on the egroups site-

> The first pic shows the control module for the system, which is mounted to
the left of the engine. Notice the cable running out of it... it is routed
through the rear fascia area and comes out of it right in front of the
throtte spool.
>
> The second picture shows the cable coming out of the rear fascia area, and
the home engineering it took to get the cable attached to the throttle spool
(notice the bracket).
>
> The final picture shows the controls mounted on the console inside the
car. I tried to take a closer picture, but couldn't get my digi cam to focus
on the actual controls. Notice there are two switches... the left is for
On/Off, the right is for increase/decrease speed.
>
> Though I didn't install the system myself, please let me know if I can be
of further help. I have more pics, and can take more by request. Sorry again
for taking so long!

Subject: Re: Type of fuel to use
The owner's manual for the "American" DMC recommends using 87 Octane fuel.
The "European" DMC owner's manual recommends a different Octane, as their
ratings are computed differently "across the pond". Fill'er up with 87
Octane, and Drive Stainless. Robert VIN 6924

Hi,
I am a new prospective owner of a DeLorean, before I buy, I'm
gathering all info I can. One question comes to mind, I know the
manual and several sites say to use 91 Octane fuel, only thing close
to it is 93, and that does get expensive. Can 87 or 89 Octane be
used with no ill effects? I'm told how the Europeans and how the U.S.
rates gasoline are two different things, any truth to this?
Thanks.
