I've changed all the usual relays etc, but it is still dead at the connector at the fuel pump. If I bridge in a live wire, the pump runs, as does the buzzing thingy in the engine compartment. My question is, where is a dirty pug or contact between the power supply and fuel pump? I've tried to search the archives before and get hopelessly lost! Can someone help or give me the direct link please?

Please do not send the whole thing back as a quote. One got by us today, normally they are just rejected when this happens. I previously had the list set to automatically reject large messages, apparently in the last re-spin of YahooGroups they took that option away.

On the trip from Columbus, OH to Memphis and back (about 1620 miles) my average gas mileage was 25.5 mpg. Most of the time I was driving between 65 and 70 mph.

There is no way in the world an engine rebuild should have cost that much, but if it did and you are having problems, the first place you need to be asking questions from is DeLorean One. And after spending that much, I would hope they would tell you how to adjust your shifter for free. If not, you need to seriously reconsider your choice of repair shops. I hope that was diplomatic enough to get by the moderators. Its not what I would like to have said.....

I picked up an early low mileage AMC powered car for about $4,000 and can safely say that was the worst car I have ever owned. It drove like a combination kit car and Javelin, and left me stranded at a bank drive-thru window. I owned it for a seemingly endless 2.5 months. Since I have made it a point to have never lost money on a collector car, I was determined that this lemon was not going to break my record. I ended up selling it for less than $1.00 above my total investment, and it was the best profit I ever made. Please, Bricklin (and kit car or Javelin) fans, don't respond with how off-base I am. This was my experience with one particular car. Your experience may vary.

I opened the shifter casing and it was super glued together!!!!! I get it off and the screws out and I take the two back screws out and the light for the cover display plastic grip teeth were glued as well and shifter gate does not have its screw to hold it in place, but for a reason. I put it back in place and started to shift and heard a snap those little plastic teeth that hold it in gear. Well now I can't keep it in first and can only shift from 2nd upto park.......... Looks like I am calling Huston on Tuesday to get these parts. This is not a rant BTW its just kinda shock on my part. I mean here I am buying one of these cars that I have receipts showing work on the drive train, suspension and a few other things and I find this kind of stuff. Is this normal? I mean I looked for a car for over two years and this one is by far the best one I have found don't get me wrong. I just would like a few other peoples experiences maybe to tell me where I stand as an owner. I mean I love the car I really do; I enjoy this kinda stuff for the most part. I am just shocked that's all.

They make the best decisions they can. AND - It's an unpaid and thankless job. Worse than thankless, some people who's posts get cut probably get upset with the moderator. I would not want to do it, I wouldn't have the fortitude needed. Let's try to help our moderators. I have a thought which may help, and everyone can add to it. If we can think of editing guidelines, this would take the burden off the moderators and transfer guidelines. Any beef would then be directed at the guidelines. These would be in addition to already written down guidelines. DMLers and moderators: Could this help the DML? One guideline might be that when a post is received on a valid DML topic, the post is allowed if it is by a higher credentialed individual than has commented to date. Example: A Masters degreed Chemical Engineer estimating the current condition of the underwater steel dies. Such a post has been innocently cut in the past. Credentialed people will stop sharing their knowledge with the DML if there work never makes it to the DML post.

Rockstar did approach us about licensing the use of the logo for use in that game, which we declined for several reasons. It will appear in another upcoming game from a different company, in a much more positive light. That is the real story.
