Actually the seller probably wasn't an idiot for that price. certainly there
are many more delorean fans in the world, and i'm sure us DML'ers represent
only a small fraction of all people who own deloreans or are looking to buy
one. you know how everyone looks at your car at a show and says it must be
worth $100,000? well i'm sure there are some people out there who have that
much money and would pay that owner more than $20,000 because they just don't
know any better!!!!
I think you made the right decision too. if nothing else, look at it as
being what your instincts told you - and those are usually right. even if
only the seats are dry and cracked - that's $2K right there.

Subject: Re: Fan Fail Light Without Actual Fan Fail
Jim, The original fan fail module, needs to be taken out and replaced, it will constantly give problems. The factory replacement was a jumper wire. No fused protection.
With The Fan Fix, it eliminates the Fan fail module, the pesky circuit breaker that is clicking on and off and runs each fan on it own 40 amp relay, we also give you dash indication when your getting power. No more fan problems.

Thanks for the explanation of the modules hall effect sensor design. Correct
me if I'm wrong, but it seems the original design intent was to signal a
failed fan thru a current flow imbalance between the fans, so if both fans
failed and were essentially open, or the circuit breaker tripped, or the
cooling fan relay failed, then you would have no fans and no warning light....
You only get a warning light if one is running and the other is not. Correct?
That seems to be a rare yet survivable situation (with only 1 fan running
you'll probably be able to make it home). What I did with a rewired Fan Fail
Module socket and another accessory relay in its place, will tell me whether
the fans have power, not if there is a current imbalance. The light comes on
only when the fans are supposed to be running but have no power due to a
thermal trip or a cooling fan relay failure.

Subject: RE: Exhaust manifolds removal?
Even if you could find 7mm Stainless studs, I don't think the aluminum against the SS will make for a good combo.
I recently did this job, and found that letting liquid wench soak in for a few days (respraying it every day for a week) did the trick. I did it in 2 steps- I let the nuts soak for a week and removed them, then let the studs soak for a week and did them. Everything came out with no fuss. The manifolds were then Ceramic Coated and resurfaced.
All of the parts with the kit sold by PJ Grady which included the hard to find 7mm studs and a newer style 1 piece gasket that had some "spring" too it. I like this gasket because it think it reduced the risk of snapping a stud while torque the nuts in because I did not feel the need to possibly over torque. The new studs were installed with hi-temp (gold color) never-seize.
Others mentioned using extractors to remove broken studs.. I think most experienced shade tree mechanics will tell you that these tools just make it harder for your machine shop to fix the head because they then have to remove the broken tool AND the broken stud!! That is if your lucky enough to not drill in to the aluminum. If you happen to break a stud, I'd suggest NOT trying to remove it unless your are experienced in this art. Bring it to a professional.

Subject: RE: Exhaust manifolds gasket removal techniques & gasket installation process
A few people said use Vice Grips.. On most of my studs, I used a "Stud Extractor" which Snap-On and Sears both sell. It is a nice little tool to have around. However, this tool is kind of big and not easy to work with. Eventually I gave up on using the tool and switched to double-nutting the stud, and using a wrench to back it out. I advise others to use the double nut method over vice grips.
I do not think the studs Grady sells are Brass, they are probably cad plated steel.. I do not know for sure.

<from original question poster>
Hi Everyone,
This is the last post related to my high hydrocarbon problem.
From the last email, my car failed the smog check again even
though I have done most of stuff including ajusting CO.
The most interesting thing about my last smog check is that the
HC reading is varying between 80 to 240 ppm (120ppm is max
limit) Last week, my _new_ mechanic discovered I have a bad
fuel injector (#2). By cleaning all the fuel injectors, my car
passed the smog check with out problems. I like to thanks every
one who helps me. Rob from PJ Grady also has been extremely
helpful. I also like to thanks him for that.

Attn all DML people wanting to buy a De for under $15,000:
Well, gang, I don't have $10,000 saved up yet, and I got the
notification in the mail about these, so I thought I would pass the info
on to The List. There are two DMC-12s for sale, one at $10,000 with
52,128 miles; one for $14,500 with 40,700 miles. One's in CA and one's
in TX. The Texas car has good notes and descriptions and one photograph
(and looks to be in good shape -- also comes with extras); the one in CA
you'll have to call the guy because he includes no info. Due to the
mileage on these cars I will assume they have had the bugs worked out.
One of them seems to have been very well maintained, and the guy
provides a lot of info. Phone numbers are listed on the pages so you can
call.
Okay, if that is enough to entice you to go and have a look, here are
the links.
This is the one in San Francisco Bay area:

This is the one (#5203 - 81 no gasflap) in Jefferson, Texas:
http://www.carsforsale.com/Find_A_Vehicle/vehicle_details.asp?VID=9215727
As I said, I can't afford either of these right now, but would like to
see them sold to a DML'er. It seems to me the guys and gals on this list
really care about their cars. :)

So you remove Fan Fail Module (191), remove the circuit breaker (193), double
up the cooling fan relays (112) one for each fan, then rely on two inline 15
amp fuses, one to each fan. Then you then power the fan fail light (192) when
ever the fans run.
What if only one of the fans blows the fuse, or isn't getting power? Will the
light still stay on letting you think everything is OK?
Also why not run one additional accessory relay so the light only indicates a
"fail" condition when there really is no voltage going to one of the fans?

Making reproduction rims in any size is easy to do for the person who has
the equipment. Some of the nicer aftermarket rims are made using CNC
equipment, so once the measurements are in the computer, a robot does the
work.

Yes, I've done this with my car. The front wheels are OEM size except an
inch wider, and the rear wheels are just a gnats ass smaller -- not enough
to make any remarkable difference in wheel size. I haven't driven enough on
these rims to notice if they improve the handling. I still have issues with
getting the front rims to fit properly. There is a little machining left to
do to clean up where the front lug holes were welded shut & re-drilled.
(What a fiasco!) Then there is the problem of having the wider rims rub the
front sway bar. This is a problem even with the OEM configuration, but
wider rims only makes this worse. One thing I have noticed about driving on
low profile rims is that the rear camber does weird things. Sometimes the
wheels appear to lean inward, and other times they appear mostly vertical.
If I do some hard cornering, stop & get out & look then the wheels lean
inward. If I pick the rear up & set it down, then the wheels go back to
normal. I've only noticed this with low profile rims. I'm planning on
having my rear lower control arms modified to be adjustable like Don Steger
or Marty Maier offer.
At the rate things are going, I'm not going to have a front sway bar
prototype ready for the Memphis show. But since driving cross-country to
Memphis doesn't involve many sharp turns, I plan to have the aftermarket
rims on the car anyway. I posted some pictures of them in the Yahoo DML
photos section. Since then I have put lowered springs on the front which
improves the looks & handling remarkably.

That is no big surprise. Besides being such a hard car to find listings
for, the wheels are also unusual. The front vs. rear are different sizes.
The lug spacing is small for the size of the rim. And the front rims are
rather narrow by conventional standards. There are very few rim
combinations available that match these criteria.

Check the DML archives. These measurements have been listed several times.
Search under "walter" & "rims" & "TSW". I've said a lot about my rim
adventures before.
> Also, where can I get a spare tire?
Some show up on eBay once in a while. The vendors probably have plenty from
parts cars. Those aren't things that normally need replacing unless they
are badly corroded or misplaced by a previous owner.

Subject: Thanks
My thanks to all who responed to my newbie intro post, especially
Martin. A few more questions:
1) The coolant line on my car on the drivers side (at the engine)
hangs down much more than the right side. The line is clamped below
the body "sill" (for lack of a better term.) It seems to be installed
correctly and there is no way to raise it due to the engine. Almost
seems that the line after the hose exiting the engine is to long, but
I don't want to cut it before asking if anyone elses is like this.
The other side
2) Has anyone installed a bypass oil filter on the car? Anyone use
Redline oils?
3) I'm unable to find the p/n for my CV boots in the parts manual.
Any input would be appreciated.
