[DML] Re: Unprotected DeLorean Ignition Circuit

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The stock PRV as installed in the Delorean does NOT have a PCV valve.
It pulls the crankcase vapors through the cold start pipe which has an
orifice.  If you had staining on the air filter it meant the fumes
were going the wrong way or the engine was leaking badly enough that
the ventilation system couldn't handle it all or it was
malfunctioning. I would check it out or this could happen again. In
doing ANY conversion/modification there are MANY things to consider,
things with the electrical or fuel systems should only be done by
people fully knowledgeable in their operations. This ventilation
problem may have been why your car was not running right in the
beginning. Doing a conversion won't necessarily fix an underlying
problem. In fact it could cause MORE problems!
