Subject: Electric Delorean Track Test

Fellow DMCer's,
I attended the track testing of the electric Delorean this AM. To answer 
everyone's question, yes it is real! Bobby Allison drove the first two
laps. 
The car developed according to the owner Carl Tilley "noise from driver's 
side rear axle bearing" so it only went 13 laps at a track that is 1.3
miles 
around. However he was nice enough to allow a few people access to the car
up 
close. What this man has done with his Delorean is up there with Bob B.
and 
Curtis. The test will be rescheduled for another date in the near future.
The 
staff and crew were able to answer any and all questions. The crowd came
from 
as far away as Okla, Fla, and one of our own from NY. I will let Kayo post

his views upon his return. The car was quiet ( small hum) and the 
acceleration was smooth. Average speed on the track was about 70mph. Again

this test will be redone and hopefully the 200 mile mark will be met.
Carl's 
wife promised to contact me about the new date, will keep everyone posted.

I found the article, the exact web address is:

http://www.tennessean.com/business/archives/02/09/22041880.shtml?Element_I
D=22041880

I had to copy and paste to my browser, and it worked.

I took the seats out of 1860 to replace the seat covers.  The bottom and
side rug on the passenger side is in sad shape.  

Does anyone have any decent used ones they want to sell?

Subject: Cold start problem

I can't figure this out. I just bought a Deloeran with 24,000 miles. I 
drove it home (1,100 miles), parked it in the garage, started it 
multiple times and drove it around the block last weekend. When I 
tried to start it this morning (1 week later) the battery was dead. So 
I charged it. Now it turns over fine, but won't start. I'm getting the 
hum from the fuel pump in the front and back, and a clicking noise 
near the relays, so I'm assuming the fuel pump is working. As I turn 
it over, I do smell gas from the exhaust. Also, and I'm not sure this 
is related, but fuse #7 was blown out, so I replaced it with no luck. 
Please h

Subject: What is a Diode?

My passenger door wiring has no power.  I have removed the T-Panel on the
top and cleaned the roof plugs.  I have verified continuity from the roof
plugs to the door harness wiring.  I have verified the wiring continuity
from the door light switch to the lights in the door.  

I have a wiring diagram and I suspect that the diode in the circuit is
faulty.  However, I do not know where it is located nor what it looks
like.  How do I check the diode and are the difficult to diagnose?

Any help greatly appreciated.
