Haslewood" Subject: [DML] Johnny Carson/Troy McClure parody? Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit A lot of you are familiar with that episode of "The Simpsons" in which Troy McClure gets pulled over in his DeLorean for drunk driving. Well, I was just reading an article about Johnny Carson's DeLorean in this months issue of DeLorean World, and it detailed a similar incident in which Carson got pulled over while driving his "D" and was charged with drunk driving. I'm guessing the opening scene of that particular episode of "The Simpsons" is supposed to be a parody of the Carson incident. Does anyone else think so? BTW, any Simpsons/DeLorean fans in Sydney would be interested to know that the Troy McClure/DeLorean episode is on Channel 10 this coming Sunday, so be sure to look out for it. R.

This date seems to be the one that will allow most of you to come and the more the merrier. I still need to get in contact with Bill and I will be doing this today, to work out the meeting place and time. But the meet will be here in Winston-Salem NC. Due to some of the concerns about Hooters in Greensboro as a meeting place we will not be meeting there. We will be selecting a meeting place that will be easy to find and I will create a map so that we will not loose anyone. I will get this done by the end of this week.

Please when you contact me by private e-mail include your edition number or "build number". If I have this information it only takes a second to find you on the master list, but if you just give me your name or worse no name or even a signature I have to use your e-mail address from the file header which requires I manually read the email address on the master list. This can take 10 minutes or more just to locate you. 2. Ken and I are working on ways to improve and speed the Limited Edition site. In the next few days he will be posting the DMC Calender sample. The Calender is now finished and ready to start shipping. The calender is a 12 consecutive month design that starts the month after it is shipped. The calender is 12 unusual, some times funny, often mind boggling photos, paintings and Illustrations. Makes a great gift or just use it to like any other calender.

The shifter is spring loaded to go into the 3rd and 4th gears so the crossgate cable is either broken completely in half like mine was or somehow got out of adjustment. If you need a new on the Part number is 101363, it cost me about $100 from PJ Grady. And it is reference Number 34 in Parts manual...4.2.0 Manual Transmission. I would love to hear if this was your problem...keep us posted.

Second, what can you do for I'd bet you have a broken or disconnected shifter linkage. There is one rod and one cable that goes from the shifter to the transmission; these may have come loose or unhooked. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 841 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=841 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ Date: Thu, 3 Jun 1999 19:36:01 -0400 (EDT) From: In-Reply-To: <002b01bead97$55e090c0$98d4f6ce@highoctane> MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: 5-speed is now a 2-speed Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sounds like you had a hell of a day.

Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello: Im new to this mailing list and am seeking information on my car (2946). I bought the car going on two years ago and have not driven it too much. The major problem I have is that the turn lights and flashers do not work. I have checked all the lights themselvs and have looked through the fuses. All seem in order. I was looking for the flasher unit hoping that may be the cause, but can not find it. Can someone PLEASE help me with the location of the flasher unit? Thank you for any help!

While going over the diagnostic chart in my manual on ignition,it had me test the voltage from the #1 terminal on the coil to ground. With just the ignition turned on I got zero voltage and the remedy was to replace the ECU because of a short in the unit. What it did not state was if the engine should be turned over during this test. With the engine being turned over the voltage went to 5 to 6.5 volts and when the key was release the voltage dropped to 0. Everthing in the fuel tank looked good on inspection and the engine is getting gas. No leaks in any hoses or vaccum lines. Just will not start.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I routinely leave my doors open for that same reason. It does leave the gas less compressed and thus less stress on the seal but if this really makes a measureable difference I don't know. I guess what counts is that you believe you are doing what's best for your D. -SweatyEddy ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Thursday, June 03, 1999 7:32 AM Subject: [DML] Good to leave doors open while stored? > I'm wondering if it would be good to leave the doors open on my D while it is in the garage.

It is a small black cube. Be There is a possibility that the problem is actually the old loose-circuit-board problem in the taillights. This will not be discovered by simply checking the bulb. I don't know how to check for this, but no one else has mentioned it, so... :} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eGroups.com home: http://www.egroups.com/group/dmcnews http://www.egroups.com - Simplifying group communications ------------------------------ message 847 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/dmcnews/?start=847 X-Mailing-List: dmcnews@egroups.com X-URL: http://www.egroups.com/list/dmcnews/ From: WINGD2@aol.com Date: Fri, 4 Jun 1999 01:11:13 EDT MIME-Version: 1.0 Subject: [DML] Re: Doors left open Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Leaving the doors open puts the rubber weather/rain strips down the center into a 90 deg bend. I believe leaving the doors in the closed position leaves these rubber strips in their natural flat position, which helps in extending their life. Struts are much easier to replace then these strips. Just my 2 cents worth.
