Subject: Brake lights???
Can I get replacement brake lights for the DeLorean at any parts
supply store? I'm having trouble with one of my brake lights on
the passangers side (the light right next to the reverse light)
and I tried to find a replacement bulb today but was unable to.
It is a "Tungsram" (?) 1057 12volt bulb...do you have to order
replacement LIGHT BULBS from a DeLorean supplier???
Any help would be appreciated...I tried a 1156 12v bulb and it
didn't work. Is there anything else I can try?

Subject: Re: Gas Tank Fixes
Steve, I can understand your resistance about a new product. Some
people have a natural built in resistance to someting new. But let me
assure you and others that a lot of time went into researching the
hose/tubing. I talked to several manufacturing companies about our
application, the tubing had to live in gasoline. Most recommended a
product called Viton which has been around a long time. It is rated
good in gasoline. I didn't want good, I wanted excellent, Tygon's
Fluran Severe environment is a step above Viton. You can read the
brief specs I posted at:http://www.specialtauto.com/fuelsystems.htm
or you can go to www.tygon.com to read all the specs on this product
and others. It will take care of the high cost and the fuel tank
problems for years to come. This product wasn't even made when the De
Lorean came out. What I liked about it was the temp, 400 degrees F or
204 degrees c, working environment and brittle temp down to -60
degree F and it's resistance to corrosive chemicals and solvents.
Gasoline companies put a lot of chemicals in the tank today that
wasn't used 20 years ago, this is a modern tubing for a modern day
problem. Things change.

Subject: Re: Re: Starting problems
Steve,
Because you say that half of your injectors are spraying, and the other half
are not while attached to the fuel distributor, maybe you have a problem in
the fuel distributor. Have you tried hooking a known spraying injector to a
fuel line where another injector previously didn't spray? If the problem
follows the injector, then that would indicate that you have some bad
injectors. If a known good injector will not spray on a line where another
injector failed, then that could indicate a bad fuel distributor. The only
other explanation that I can think of is that perhaps your fuel pressure is
barely high enough to open just some of your injectors.
What is the most common failure mode of the control pressure regulator? I
think that normally when they fail they allow too high a fuel pressure to
the injectors. Is this correct?
Also, you said that pressing on the air meter flap increased the fuel spray
only for a short time. Y'all correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't pushing on
the air meter flap supposed to increase the fuel flow for the duration that
it is pressed? If this is the case, then it sounds like this is more
evidence that something is amiss in the fuel distributor.

Subject: Re: Starting problems
Now it does seem like it is a fuel system problem! At this point I am
guessing that the primary contol pressure regulater on the side of the
fuel distributer is stuck open and is dumping the pressure back to the
tank. You can either take it apart and clean it or wait until you get
a pressure gauge to confirm this. When the engine is cold and first
starts up it is running mainly on the cold start valve (think of it
like a choke) so you should also check that system but if you don't
have enough pressure that won't be operating correctly either. You
will have to find the correct setting for the mixture screw by trial
and error once you get it to run a little.

Subject: Re: DeLorean Movie director releases new film
When I was an undergraduate student the two infamous film makers were the
subject of a documentary film course. Of course I introduced the DeLorean
film to my fellow class mates.
There are two versions of the film Startup. The first film was produced
by WGBH TV Boston. The producer was Learning Corp. of America. The film was
available to Colleges and Universities for a discussion of entrepreneurship
and starting a complex business. There were 12 films in the Startup
series...Levi's, Purdue Chicken, DeLorean, etc.
The footage for this film was taken from Daniel McGaulley's DeLorean film.
After DeLoreans arrest there was a part two of the DeLorean Startup film,
titled "Follow up to the DeLorean Startup." This film aired on PBS stations.
The second film Startup is about the rise and fall of an Internet
e-commerce company.
I own the Startup and DeLorean film. Has anyone ever seen the Follow up to
DeLorean Startup?

Richard,
first you must determine if the problem is a broken light bult or something
in the circuitry. the first one is easy - just replace the bulb with a bulb
that you KNOW works from the other brakelight. if it works, then it's the
bulb, if not, then it's the circuitry/wiring. put a good bulb in and wiggle
it around a little bit and see if it comes on. if it works intermittently,
you need to get a penetrating spray like WD-40 or my personal favorite,
TriFlow, and spray down the contacts where the bulbs fit in and wipe them out
really well. corrosion has a way of building up in there. while you're at
it, do this to ALL of the sockets while you're in there. check the wiring
harness on the board for proper installation, maybe clean that up a bit. i
bet this will fix your problems! by the way, any decent auto parts store
(Napa, checker auto) should have the bulbs. just ask a salesperson for a
crossreference.

We have had warm sunny weather over the past couple of weeks but now it's
very wet and cooler. The long range forecast is reasonable. Folks coming
from a hot climate will probably feel it cold. The max temperature today was
14 degrees centigrade with heavy showers.
I suggest you pack pants, sweater, and rain proof coat. It is still a little
early to predict what the weather will actually be like. Hope this helps.

Subject: Soft alternator?
I've been watching my alternator... lately it's been dropping below the 13v when at idle and AC is on. It's the 90 amp Motorola model. It's leaked some clearish plasticy stuff... melted insulation or something?
I leave everything else that I can off and just use windows for a breeze when I can. Of course, when I need the AC is when I'm at the stop light idling and don't have a breeze, and that's when the alterntor performs the worst.
At first, it was just the discrepency between the gauge and the volts measured on the alternator. I even replaced the fuses for dash services and AC stuff, hoping it was poor contacts. I tightened the belts last night and did many different tests with it idling in the drive way, out of gear.
The end result is that with just AC and fan on 3 or 4 it drops to about 12.3v, and with radio and lights on it barely hits 12, and sometimes 11.9v. That's measured right on the alternator with my trusty digital multimeter.
So, I need a new alternator for full enjoyment and peace of mind, right?
Will this also help lessen the drag the AC system places on the engine performance?
I know there is the fanzilla that is to help with the performance... but what exactly does it do for all that money? Alternatives? (I'd like to save some money for suspension work this summer)?

Subject: Re: Soft alternator?
Kevin,
A low voltage situation at idle is normal in the DeLorean especially with
accessories on like headlights and a/c. I have one of John Hervey's 140amp
alternators in my D now, and it is a vast improvement; however, at idle the
system voltage will be less than 12 volts with the a/c on. A slight
increase in RPM will bring the voltage up to a reasonable level. You might
try using a smaller pulley on the alternator so that it will turn faster,
but there are limits to how small you can go.
I have seen larger pulleys in aftermarket catalogues to slow the alternators
down for racing purposes. (The slower the alternator runs, the less
horsepower it takes away from the car). I would like to do this for the
DeLorean, but... BUT... then you get too low a voltage at idle. I suggested
designing a two speed alternator a while back, but it quickly got moderated
off the list. Someone suggested using two alternators -- one that runs at
high RPMs at idle and then kicks off at higher RPMs. This might be done
with an a/c compressor clutch, but I have more important projects to work
on. I suggest trying a smaller pulley or a better alternator. I already
have a better alternator with a somewhat smaller pulley, and it could be
better. Although I believe that it is the best out there unless John's
newer 150amp alternator is any better.
Ideally, someone needs to come up with an alternator that will put out a lot
of power at low RPMs yet be able to handle spinning at very fast RPMs
without flying apart or taking too much horsepower from the engine. Some
guys will say that any alternator should handle excessive RPMs and that it
won't take away from the horsepower too much. If you are one of these guys,
then put the smallest pulley you can find on there.
Food for thought,
Walt Tampa, FL

Subject: Re: Soft alternator?
Unless your idle gets rough or the engine stalls, I wouldn't worry
about it. Last fall my meter constantly read around 12 (with the
motorola) on idle with the AC on. As long as you dont shut off the
engine without allowing it to rise back up (driving the car) then your
battery will keep a charge. What Fanzilla does is sequentially turn
on the fans one at a time after the AC compressor kicks in. Then
there is much less of a shock to the electrical system. Engine drag
from the AC is caused by two sources. The primary one is the AC
compressor itself. The other is the alternator, since there is more
resistance to turn it when there is a greater electrical draw. In the
long run, you're gonna still feel the drag no matter what you do, it
will just wont be all at once with the Fanzilla. I have no idea what
that plasticy stuff is. But if your paranoid about it, you should get
a new alternator. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

Richard, It's always best to use the original, but new bulbs that
draw less current could be available at the local stores. As long as
it is 12 volts and has the same pin/base configuration, push/twist
and the same filiment style it should work. If it doesn't then I
would look for a bad connection on the board. If it turns out to be
that, I can fix them.
