Sounds like you're right on top of it. If you have power at the plug
and you tested the microswitch and it no longer hums....
(If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck...)
Mine was siezed from rust. I don't think they have a high failure
rate but when the thing is 20+ years old...
I'd replace the durn thing and eliminate the question. In the
meantime if you REALLY don't want to do it, you can talk to Bill
Robertson and he'll tell you how to "de-plumb" your engine. He knows
how to get rid of all the computer junk and make the engine run well
without it.
I know I'll catch h&#) for even bringing it up. A lot of people
disagree with his methods but I've seen his car and it runs well. I'm
not doing it to mine but that's 'cause I'm a closet-historian.

The main problem with power R&P in the D is the hole in the frame. It
is too small for a power R & P rack.
However, on my next Delorean project, we are planning to remove the
stock tube and put in one large enough for a power R & P. The may take
the form of a SS frame for Ken.
The issue of horsepower can be resolved with newer power steering pumps.

Mine did same thing on its way out (would also stick full open
sometimes -- opposite problem but equally fun). That's when I
discovered manual idle speed circuit. If motor sticks closed, car will
not run without doing something else to let air into engine. If you
don't want to mess with brass idle screws can crack throttle plates
like an old fashioned carburetor (don't forget to lengthen idle
microswitch screw if you've still got Lamda, spark advance solenoid, etc).
My opinion of idle speed motor already known and unfortunately
inflammatory.
(John Hervey's tank baffle indeed improvement over factory design).

>>Well, My problem is not the vacuum its the idle speed motor.<<
They do fail, although it's usually a mechanical failure rather than
electrical. If so they can be repaired if you have the proper tools.
In fact, if your's turns out to be bad I'd be happy to take it off
your hands.
There is a straighforward procedure for checking the idle speed
system and wiring, it can be done at the connector to the ECU. This
assumes you have everything else (throttle linkage, etc) set up
correctly. To check *only* the idle speed motor/valve, start the car
and keep it running. (set the idle manually if needed.)
Disconnect the connector at the ECU and jumper terminals 1 and 4.
Leave them jumpered and then jumper terminals 5 and 2. Rpm should
increase. If engine rpm remains unchanged your idle speed motor/valve
or the wiring to it is bad. 5 and 2 will drive it open, 3 and 2 will
drive it closed. You could also do this with the motor off the car
and watch it's response.
Another way is to remove the tach input signal (push out terminal 12)
to the ECU. This will set the idle motor to it's default position
assuming its working. Then see if the car will at least run without
you having to intervene. There are other ways to test the system
depending on your skills and available equipment. If you want a
complete procedure to test the entire system on the car (with minimal
test gear) contact me off list.

If size is realy that big of a deal, try searching

I have posted some of the pictures I took of the power side-view
mirror switch. Let me know what you think. Now that I have mine
apart and fixed I need suggestions on how to hold it together. Since
my base plate, the plastic piece that has the wire terminals in it,
is slighlty warped it seems to require alot of pressure to hold the
switch together and maintain the electrical contacts inside. I have
never had good luck when glueing this kind of plastic.

Subject: Delorean went BOOM
Hi Everyone,
It's been a couple long weeks.
You guys will probably get a BLAST out of this. I did…LITERALLY.
I just finished replacing a couple of bad rocker arms on the #4
cylinder. The oiling holes were plugged and the cam eventually made a
concave slot in the rocker arms. Cam looked fine.
After reassembling the head, intake, etc. and the first trial running,
the car failed to start. I did hear a loud hissing sound. Fuel
pressure was good at 44 psi (I have a fuel pressure gauge installed
full-time). After about a minute of cranking, I heard what sounded
like a hissing sound. Next attempt at starting, the hissing sound
repeated then a LOUD EXPLOSION!
When the smoke cleared, there was no flame. However, the muffler was
BLOWN APART and my ears are still ringing!
Has anyone experienced this on a DMC or any other car for that matter?
Any idea what I did wrong? Any guess on what the explosion did to
the engine?
I was extremely careful in following the proper steps on removing &
replacing the head. I've had the intake off of the car at least 4
times and am fairly knowledgeable in the fuel system. I was very
careful to follow the head torque & angle tightening recommendations
to the T. (I was ready to run the engine for about 30 minutes then
re-torque according to the manual when the explosion occurred.)
Using a short piece of box tubing, I made a bracket to secure the cam
chain sprocket before removing the cam. (I did not remove the timing
chain cover.) I am positive this sprocket and chain did not move.
Since it was the 4-5-6 side, I was not able to visually see that the
#1 piston was at T.D.C. However, I did remove the #1 plug, visually
look to see if the piston was at the top of the stroke, then I did 2
revolutions of the crank and waited for the surge of pressure from the
#1 cylinder to verify that I was at T.D.C. It was at this point that
I set the distributor rotor to the #1 location as installed the
distributor.
I marked the timing location of the distributor before removing it,
but unfortunately I did not note the location of the rotor. There are
two identical marks on the crankshaft pulley and I thought the
procedure I followed would identify which one was correct, (It worked
once before); however I am now wondering if I got the position off by
180 degrees (or 1/4 stroke). This seems to make sense. Valves would
open at the wrong time letting fuel run thru the engine and into the
exhaust without burning. Then, after cranking for a period of time
sufficient vapor built up to the point that a plug ignited the fuel
all the way to the exhaust where there was the most vapor accumulated.
Am I even close to being on the right track? Also, does anyone know
why there are two marks and if there is a way to determine which is
which? Was the #1 piston not finishing the compression stroke when I
felt the pressure in the cylinder and should I have waited another
half revolution of the crank to set T.D.C.?
I also verified that all plug wires are to the right cylinders.
One last move that may have contributed to the explosion: I placed a
few drops of gas in the intake (just a few drops but probably a dumb
move).
Anyone interested in an "exploded view" of a Delorean muffler?
I have to admit it is difficult to maintain my normally positive
outlook and sense of humor after being so careful to do a quality job
and still having this happen. I even shot photos of the various steps
in case someone else could benefit from my experience.

The idle speed motor does fail but it is not common. The best thing
would be if you could "borrow" a motor from another car just to test
it. If that gets your car to run right then you could order another
knowing that this will fix the problem. Another thing you could try is
to lubricate the upper and lower pivot points inside in the hope it is
just sticking and not burnt out. Even it you can get it to work this
way it is not a long term repair.

The reason I let it through (along with the replies) is that it

He's only made two posts in the past two years, hardly over-use of

anyone's mind, in fact it sure seems from the replies that people are
even madder at the guy. He looks to be getting his just deserts from

I don't for a minute think that he's going to get ANY sympathy in
this group, in fact I was surprised that his lawyer let him do it.
Looking at the information on his website didn't do a thing to change
my opinion. At best what was done was ethically shady, at worst
illegal, the opinion that really counts will be the judge (and his
cell-mate's).
Watch it on the follow-ups, anything overtly slanderous will get the

Subject: Re: Delorean went BOOM
For the muffler to explode you had to have filled it with unburned
fuel and then it ignited. I would check to see if the camshaft is
really all right after ruining the rocker arms. Get a micrometer on
it. A missfiring cylinder or the cold start valve staying on would be
my first thoughts. You are correct in that a way off timing problem
could cause this (like having the camshaft way off). To check the
engine for damage I would try a compression test. This will also give
you a hint if the camshaft is way off if you can't get compression on
some cylinders. You may have blown out the exhaust manifold gaskets
and destroyed the O2 sensor and possibly damaged the catalytic
converter. You are lucky no one was hurt. I had a similar experience
but in that case the engine had a burnt exhaust valve and it only blew
the exhaust pipes apart when it backfired.

Checking for voltage on the plug that connects to the Idle Speed Motor
is a good start, but it's not everything that you need to do. More
importantly, you'll need to check for solid continuity on all 3 wires.
Use a Voltmeter, and check that when supplied with a full 12V, each of
the wires is able to pass said voltage thru with minimal resistance. I
had the EXACT same symptoms as you, and found that the one of the
wires wasn't passing full voltage. When tested, it was only
registering 8V or so. I grafted in a new wire in it's place, and the
Idle Speed Motor ran just fine.
This procedure isn't difficult at all. You just need to remove the
access panel behind the drivers seat, and the Idle Speed ECU is right
there on top. Pull the 2 plugs (checking of corse for corrosion, and
cleaning the contacts if nessisary), and utilize the 12V feed wire
there as your source for testing power. While you're at it, you can
also check the ground connecction, and the Microswitch to verify that
ALL will allow the full 12V to pass thru them.
You know that the engine will not idle because it doesn't have the
airflow to keep running. And while the ISM is the prime/logical source
of failure in this case, you don't know for certain that it is the
root of the problem, and not something else in the Idle Speed Circuit.
To check if the motor is rusted into place, simply remove it, grip it
like a doorknob, and shake it back and forth. You should hear a loud
"CLICK!" "CLACK!" from the the valve/impeller assembly inside as it
freely spins, slapping the metal stops that limit is movement. If not,
then you'll know it's rusted.
It most definatly is much more work than simply replacing the Idle
Speed Motor. But becuase I skipped this step, I wasted some good cash
on unessisarily purchasing a new ISM. Of course, since I had a new
ISM, I got to gut the old one to see just how everything works inside
(check the archives from about 2 years ago for a post I wrote that
explains the entire Motor/Circuit function in detail).

My compliments to moderator Swingle, his comments were dead on.
It's guys like him and Bruce B that may yet alter my opinion of
moderated groups.
As a former LEO I have no sympathy for Corbett but there is only one
fact as it applies to this group and that is none of us know all the
facts. In spite of what's on his site we know nothing of the real
intricacies of his case. Based on his site he made some big mistakes
and yet the level of malice aforethought seems minimal. When he's
sentenced it'll be more for for stupidity than anything else.
I quit law enforcement because I was disgusted at how the "justice"
system eats up and spits out innocent people on a routine basis. I'm
not saying Corbet is such a man, I'm only saying you'd all better
pray to God you never get caught up in this grinding machine for
something that in truth is fairly minor...or even false. And you're
clueless if you think it can't happen to you as long as you remain
a "law abiding citizen".
I doubt he'll receive any real jail time, even in AZ. As for those
doing all the whining, it's folks like you that contaminate juries
all over America on a daily basis.
And it's been said before and I'll say it again: Get a life. It's
just friggin car...and not a very good one at that.

Subject: Instrument Panel Lights
I am continuing my battle with electrical woes. How do you access
the bulbs in the instrument panel? My low fuel lamp does not work
and if I understand the instructions, the Tankzilla will not operate
without the low fuel lamp operating properly.
Also does any one know what the rear lourved panel over the engine
compartment is made of and can it be sandblasted? Mine has been
painted with a spray can and poorly done to say the least. If
possible I was thinking of sandblasting and then having it powder
coated.
Thanks,
Steve T

Subject: Re: delorean power steering??
Hi all,
I have a 1986 Nissan Skyline GTS-X which has an electric power steering rack in
it. It looks to me, it's just a regular hydralic rack with an electric pump. I know the
rack is a right hand drive rack, but maybe it could be turned over or just the
electrical side of the system be used with a suitable sized power rack from a
conventional system.
A power system sure would make our D's easier to park.
