Not to mention multiple redundant temperature sensors, spark advance, 
all that electro-mechanical-vacuum logic (replete with solenoid valves, 
vacuum delay units, etc) and so on.  I've been pipe-dreaming about an 
open-source project like this for years.  I have to admit, though, that 
I am torn--keeping the D's engine working the way God intended it has 
its own appeal.

I once tried to convince some of the well-known players in the 
"DeLorean aftermarket electronics" game of the merits of an open 
architecture that would permit mix-and-matching of add-on electronics, 
but not too surprisingly, there was little enthusiasm. It would be a 
lot of work, and somebody technical would have to be quite committed in 
the role of main architect (and most of those people are busy these 
days).  So, how many embedded systems programmers do we have on the 
list?
