[DML] Re: Idle problem

["Toby Peterson" <tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Normality in a DeLorean ... what a concept!  Winged1 starts up and 
idles at about 1000 rpm with some very minor hunting for about 10~15 
seconds when cold, and then settles at 750 rpm.  When warm, she 
starts and idles at 750 rpm steadily.  3000 rpm on a stone-cold 
motor doesn't sound all that good to me.  It takes a bit for the oil 
to get to the top end, so that first burst of rpm might be with the 
journals a little starved for oil.  I would think that there is an 
issue with the cold start system that should be resolved.

every time I start it and it makes no difference if the engine is 
cold or hot.
