Subject: speedo..
hi group..
last year, a few days before i put my car away for the winter, the speedo
stopped working. i figured that i would get it fixed once i get the car out
this year. i took the car out of storage earlier this week and
lo-and-behold, the speedo worked for about 20 minutes and then stopped
working again. i find that it is working intermittantly. has this ever
happened to anyone else?
thanks..

Subject: Quality of the 3M stripes (was Re: Thin Grey stripes)
I think what Walt is overlooking is that the stripes are now about 20 years
old, and he mentions nothing about what kind of life the one DeLorean he saw
with these stripes had had.
The stripe material is made by 3M, and designed for automotive applications.
Walt doesn't say and I don't know how long those stripes had been on that
particular car, but I think 3M produced a good stripe in excellent material.
If the car had the stripes put on at the original selling dealer, they've
been on the car for about 20 years, and if the car was a daily driver and
has spent the better part of the last twenty years in the elements (rain,
sun, etc) - that would account for their condition.
For every car that I've seen at our shop or any show with
weathered/neglected stripe treatment (grey OR black), I have seen MORE with
good condition stripes. I think it is wrong to question the quality of the
material, based on the observation of one car where the history of stripe
installation (date and how it was applied) in unknown.
FWIW.

If the brakes are pulsing or shaking the car when you slow down, check your
rotors for excessive wear. They may need to be turned. If you have a
machine shop in your area they will be able to do this for you. Some repair
shops can do this while they are on the car, but it may be cheaper to take
them off and try a machine shop.

Subject: Fuel Pump - Solved
Removing the old, burned out and melted inline #7 fuse and replacing it
with 5 dollars worth of parts did the trick. The car is running just fine
now. Big thanks to everyone who let me in the right direction, especially
John at SpecialTAuto and Walt in Tampa.
One benefit of having the car towed back to my house and left on the
street for a couple days is that one of the neighbours at the end of the
road noticed my D. He stopped by just a couple minutes ago and gave me an
original DeLorean sales brouchure and a June 1980 "Road Test" magazine
with the DeLorean in it. Both are in excellent condition... just like my
car.
Thanks again DML!

Looks like I've still got that black plastic line from my master cylinder

what to look for and how easy it is to do. Also, I should probably replace

Your car may have been in an accident and the frame is bent or the
front crumple tubes are so rusted that the wheels moved. Refer to
Workshop Manual R:02:02 and :03 for frame dimensions to see what is
wrong. If the pedal pulsates a rotor is warped.

There are several things to check but start with the plastic disc in
the center of the left front wheel. If the sguare hole in the center
is rounded out that would cause the problem. You have to remove the
wheel to check it. Also make sure that the disc is secure when the
wheel is replaced or it could spin.

Subject: Stuck passenger door.
My passenger door now has decided not to open. The upper trim panel
is off, and when pulling either the internal or external door handle,
it does appear that all of the connecting rods are working correctly.
However, the door will not unlock. When pushing the lock down, or
turning the key on the outside, the door refuses to unlock. Everytime
I turn the key into the fully unlocked position, it just snaps back
into place without unlocking. The door doesn't appear to be jammed,
it just won't unlock! I can see the white plastic pieces in the door
that connect to the locking mechanism, and they both turn freely with
no trouble.
To give a better idea, both of my doors have guide blocks installed,
and the power door locks were disabled a long time ago.
I am no longer scratching my head over this. I'm pulling my hair out!

When I worked on my fuel pump, I found I had an extra green ground wire
spiced into the pump harness. It ran to the ground point by the front wheel,
bypassing the inertia switch. There was nothing wrong with the inertia switch
when I reconnected it, so I'm guessing a former owner accidentally bumped the
inertia switch into the "off" position, and a mechanic decided to "repair"
the problem without bothering to know the car or determine what was wrong.
Could be your interia switch is "off" or shot. Do you know how to check it?

Doug,

Does your car pull hard to the right all the time or only while you are
braking?
From your symptoms, it sounds like you could have several separate problems:
Problem 1: Put the front of your car on jacks and see if you can giggle
your tires forward and backwards. There should be no play this direction.
If the connection is solid, then you might only have a bent front lower
control arm (also called a 'lower link' part # 105177 in the parts manual).
This would explain your caster problem, but I don't think it is the reason
why your car is pulling hard to the right (when braking).
Problem 2: If you get fore & aft movement in either tire, then your front
lower control arm is loose. Then your car could be pulling to the right
(even while not braking) because your toe-in alignment is continually
changing. There are a few things that can cause this. It could be the
pivot bushing at the frame (part # 100154) or the anti-roll bar bushing
(part # 108912). Also, there was a recall concerning the nuts that hold the
anti-roll bar to the front lower control arm. Perhaps the recall wasn't
performed on your car and this part has loosened up. The threads on the
ends of the anti-roll bar are supposed to be double nutted and painted blue
(to more easily identify the recall). If your car is missing this, then
also suspect that the front crumple tube recall wasn't done either. If this
part comes loose while driving, then it would be very dangerous.
Problem 3: Your car pulling hard to the right (only while braking) sounds
like a brake caliper on the left side is not working. Maybe it is leaking,
seized up, has air in the line, bad fluid, etc. Maybe a brake caliper on
the right side is dragging to the point of overheating the rotor.
Problem 4: As for your brake pulsing, new pads aren't the cure. It sounds
like you have a warped brake rotor. The way to fix it is to have a brake
shop machine away the unevenness. But this makes it thinner and more prone
to warping a second time. If you feel the pulse more in the steering wheel,
then it is in the front brakes. If you feel it more in the body, then it is
the rear brakes.
Well, that used up my 1 hour for the day playing on the internet. Until
tomorrow...

Gregory, When was the last time you had a tune up and the air flow
was adjusted. I hear people replaceing injectors all the time and
most of the time they are not the problem. They can also be cleaned
with Berrymans B12. The #1 culprit is the accumulator. If that has
been replaced then the cold start valve sounds it's working when
cold. Has it been wired direct. Is it working hot also. This could
also cause flooding. Are you giving the car gas when trying to start
it, if so don't. Even in Texas I sometimes run the Hot Start relay
all the time, but that is because my car is kept in top tuned shape
since I'm always working on it and it starts quick. We can go deeper
into the fuel system with sensors, but most of all that is in the
workshop books. You may hear me say this a lot. But run a can of
Berrymans B12 thru the gas. If the control plunger is sticking, it
will disolve the varnish.

Subject: Re: Clutch
The clutch plate is a wearable item. The pressure plate can get burnt.
The bearings should be replaced just because you are in there. If you
aren't sure about the clutch and pressure plate take the parts to a
large shop in you area that rebuilds clutchs and have them look the
parts over. You can inspect the flywheel yourself for grooves and heat
cracks. They can quickly point out what you will need and match it up.
The wear is mainly a function of your driving style and the mileage
accumulated. As long as the trans is out if you have alot of miles on
it you might want to reseal it. At the very least change the oil. If
the slave cylinder is leaking now would be a good time to replace it
and also the clutch hydralic line if it hasn't been changed to a
braided steel line. You should at least flush the brake fluid with DOT
4.

Subject: Re: Front End Alignment & Brakes
I forgot to include that castor on the Delorean is NOT adjustable. If
it is out of spec (3-1/2 to 4 degrees positive) then something IS bent
or broken. There are really only 2 things that are adjustable on the
Delorean. The front toe-in and the rear thrust angle. If ANY other
alignment is out of spec something is worn-bent-broken. To find the
rotor causing the pulsation all you need is a dial indicater and
micrometer and just check each rotor for parallelism and runout. Some
venders do not recomend cutting the rotors although many people have
had it done successfully. If you do cut or replace the rotors then it
is recomended that you replace the brake pads. Always replace in sets
ie: both fronts or both rears, never just on 1 side.

Robert,
Try this first step to release your door lock. Locate the exterior door handle cable where it attaches to the latch release link bell crank which is located just above the interior door release handle. Push the bellcrank back to allow you to detach the cable ball end from the bellcrank. Check to see if the lock releases. Let me know the result.

Subject: [DML] Stuck passenger door.
My passenger door now has decided not to open. The upper trim panel
is off, and when pulling either the internal or external door handle,
it does appear that all of the connecting rods are working correctly.
However, the door will not unlock. When pushing the lock down, or
turning the key on the outside, the door refuses to unlock. Everytime
I turn the key into the fully unlocked position, it just snaps back
into place without unlocking. The door doesn't appear to be jammed,
it just won't unlock! I can see the white plastic pieces in the door
that connect to the locking mechanism, and they both turn freely with
no trouble.
To give a better idea, both of my doors have guide blocks installed,
and the power door locks were disabled a long time ago.
I am no longer scratching my head over this. I'm pulling my hair out!
