RE: [DML] New Ownder and some questions

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Steve, I can't address the suspension as much because everyone has their own
preference, But as far as the idling going up and down is called seeking
which can be fixed pretty easy. When was the last time the 02 sensor was
replaced. If it's been never, then I would replace it and read adjust the
fuel mixture and the problem will most likely go away.

Hi.  All.
I became the proud new owner of 04421 last week.  The D has 8300 miles
and I must say it's a blast to drive.

Something strange happened to me when I was driving the D on I-90
highway.  A couple fast looking BMW coupes passed me on the left and
cut in front of me and the D, less than 4 feet in front of me.  Speed
 was 70 MPH.  In the past, I would mutter "jerks" out loud.   But this
time in the D, the words became, "so what if you got a fast car?  You
don't have class and the Delorean.  BMWs are a dime a dozen."   I
caught myself after saying this and thought, "man.  did you become a
snotty bastard because you have a D?"

Anyway, weird thinking aside.  I have a couple technical quesitons.

The Delorean's suspension, as I understand it, is suppose to be firm.
 But I feel like I can feel every single little bump on the road, when
compared to my 92 Toyota Camry.  The D is stock.

Also, when the D just started up first time during the day, the engine
would surge to 1200 RPM, drop down to around 900, and the surge up to
1200 RPM.  It'll do this for 6 minutes and then settle down.  Is this
normal?  The other reference I had is a 1996 Ford Explorer.  With the
Ford, the engine RPM would stay up at 1300 RPM constant, and then drop
down to 1000 when the engine warmed up enough.

Your insights are appreciated.

Sincerely,


Steve
VIN#04421
