Pete, thank you for the help, but my mechanic (who knows DeLoreans pretty well, at least better than any other mechanic in my area) said they already isolated the problem. According to them, they tested the transmission without the governor and they couldn't find any mechanical problems; they were sure it was electrical. (And since I don't know jack about cars, I wouldn't be able to do what you described.) So would you recommend I get a new governor on warranty and have the same place re-install it to see what happens, should I go someplace else for a second opinion, or something else? But thank you for the testing method...I will save your mail incase I need it, Richard
