Josh - In regards to the question on bleeding air from the cooling system, I would recommend getting one of our self-bleeder kits, with our exclusive radiator air bleeder feature (K1012DP). The air will literally be automatically eliminated from your cooling system, now and whenever you perform necessary maintenance in the future. It will save you lots of time over the long haul, and will prevent air accumulation caused by minor leaks and other problems. Naturally, you should repair or correct any problems with the cooling system in order to maintain proper cooling system function. In terms of the cold idle question - The behavior that you describe is fairly typical to one degree or another in most DeLoreans. People have been able to tune some of it out, and others have various modifications and hardware tweaks to eliminate it. Don't worry though - it is normal behavior for a DeLorean. My car, "Winged1" lopes for about 30 seconds, and then settles in to a smooth idle. Others take several minutes.
