Re: [doc] Help me with my new Delorean



To Kevin, I'm refering to the factory workshop manual. Do you have this?

I'll bring my copy into work tomorrow and scan it in and e-mail it to you.

I'll also try and get round to taking a pic of the ecu..

If the sender unit is from a standard Volvo B28/B28F engine then you may be able to get one from Halfords/ Euro Car Parts/ GSF (German Swedish French) etc. I would have to check or you could take your old unit to one of these shops/ breakers and cross match it (assuming the resistance range is correct).

Typical, as soon as I want to play on the Delorean, work gets stupidly busy..

Hi Nick

I will look at your suggestions over the weekend, I have the manual
but the wiring diagram for the dashboard instruments is not very
clear.

If you could email the wiring diagram I would appreciate it. Also do
you know a uk version of the sender ??

hot and cold to see if it is different (Magnitude of 10 is about
right assuming it is not logarithmic).

you get continuity then there is an earth missing ! On a traditional
car you would just bold this to the car body but you'd have to check
for an alternative earth point. I would have to check the manual but
the dial gauge may have source voltage to it.
