[DML] Dead Battery?

["mydmc5898" <mydmc5898@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok I just got my DeLorean back from the shop, I had a new micro 
switch put in, a CD player installed, and a new thermotime switch. 
Now where the idle arm is, under the air filter, I'm not sure of the 
corret term. Anyway the arm seems to be stuck when the weather gets 
really bad, like yesterday in the north east of PA it was below 0 
from what I understand. Well the car will turn on but the gas pedel 
will not move, if you force it, the car just idles higher and 
higher. So I turned it off put the arm back where it should be, and 
tried to get the engin to warm up. Well after 30-40min I was frozen 
and gave up. Now the car started fine it just reved really high- 
usually it should just be under 10, my car was hitting close to 40 
so I went back and adjusted the arm. So I tried it one more time and 
I finally gave up. Before turning the car off it was idleing at 
around 20 ir so. Anwya being stupid I shut the car off and forgot to 
return the arm back to the right position. 
I got up tp day to see how it was. When I opened the door I saw the 
lights were dim. I tunred on the car and everything came on for a 
second then shut off. So I rembered that the arm was still in the 
wrong psoition so went back, but at some point it must have been 
warm enogh beacuse it went back on its own. Now I wnet back in and 
started the car, five times in a row nothing, the electronics stoped 
coming on at all after the second attempt, I just get a clicking 
sound as I turn the key. 
So I have to get the arm freezong thing fixed first, I have had the 
car for going on three years and so far both winters I have had it 
it acts up. So I know this needs to be finally solved. But In 
someway did I possible drain the battery by leaving the arm in the 
wrong psosiont or did I do something else possibly?

Thanks,
