more idle speed issues

["James La Londe" <deloreandmcxii@xxxx>]

 ok I know idle speed is something thrown about around the DML about every other post... but... My Delorean has never ran at correct idle since I've had it. Very occasionally it will just run as smooth as hell at around 950 until I take off (I can rev just fine, but it i put any load it and move a bit it stops idling well). Normally it idles at around 1500 rpm, which is not too loud or too off the wall for me to have fixxed it... yet.The car is timed correctly, and the belts are new. But it needs new ignition wires and spark plgus, probably a distributer, and it's coming up on an oil change. I've heard about the O2 sensor too... I'm not sure of it's function or how it could come into play here... can someone brief me on it... a little 101 if you will.Other possibly related things. the car lacks an ignition coil cover, and on start up every morning it severly bogs down until you've gone about 1/2 mile and then it runs okay (but still at 1500 rpm idling). The car has a new fuel pump and filter, and new thermotime switch. When the car is around 1/16 a tank of gas it starts to gulp air and thus bog severly... but i've been told it's because it lacks a baffle at the bottom of the fuel tank. i'd appreciate any help possible! -James La Londe1981 Delorean DMC-12 vin#001697 LicPlate DMC XII1998 Kawasaki Vulcan 8001992 Ford Probe GT
