You REALLY need this for your car - it is a simple fix, just a metal plate that covers up the throttle to keep this from happening. The recall is a simple black one, or you can sometimes find them in stainless steel as well. For example, the one on my car: http://www.babbtechnology.com/pics/3472images/engine/engine_full.JPG Michael VIN 3472 -----Original Message----- From: John Rydholm [mailto:ebondefender@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 2:01 PM To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [DML] Freezing throttle linkage topic Hi all, Given the fact that I live up here in Michigan and we get a lot of snow (freezing rain recently), My DMC's throttle tends to freeze up every now and then. I accidently bent the pedal this past December trying to get it unstuck! Fortunately, my mechanic fixed it while he was tuning it up. The last time this happened, I merely got up an hour early and left the car running. I then tapped gently on the gas pedal and worked the ice off the cable by revving the throttle by hand. While it took a good 50 minutes or so, the engine heat eventually thawed it. I noticed a "recall kit" or something DeLorean.com has though. Could this be a possible remedy/aid to this problem? What are your thoughts? Thanks all! Can't feel my hands, John :) To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
