andy,
i am cutting and pasting from an old message on the DML. It is also
in the Technical manual with a picture but not a real detailed
explanation. if you are standing behind the car use your left hand
and reach the front of the engine about half way down. the
diagnostice plug is about an inch and a half wide and has a black
plastic cover. It is seated in a black metal bracket. you can unclip
it from there and lift it up to use it. you will see the male plugs.
here is a a cut and paste on setting your mixture:
If you have a dwell meter ($35.00) you can get the air fuel (AF)
ratio
pretty close.
1. Find the diagnostic plug. On the left rear fire wall. Attach the
ground
from the dwell meter to pin # 2 on the plug. Attach the other wire
from the dwell meter to pin # 3 on the diagnostic plug. Set the meter
on Dwell.
2. Crank the engine. Let it get warm. This is so that the oxygen
sensor is sending a good signal to the Lambda Control unit. (When the
engine is cold the computer sends a fixed signal to the frequency
valve). You can see this "fixed" signal on the dwell meter. The read
out on the dwell meter will be 60% duty cycle or about 54 on the four
cylinder scale. When the engine gets hot the computer starts looking
at the oxygen sensor and adjusting the frequency valve to adjust the
exhanst level. If the dwell meter needle swings high (60% to 70% or
54 to 63 on the four cylinder scale)on the scale when the engine is
warm the mixture is set to lean. Turn the AF screw on the distrubter
clockwise just a little with a 3mm allen wrench. Remove the allen
wrench from the AF screw, cover hole and let the system settle and
look at the dwell meter reading. If the needle swings low (29% to 37%
or 26 to 33 on the four cylinder scale)the mixture is set too rich ,
turn the screw counterclockwise
to lean the mixture.
again, go easy as an 1/8th or 1/4 turn does alot. Your ears will also
tell you if you are getting closer to a smooth idle.
hope this helps

Subject: where do I buy either single or twin turbo kits?
Hello all. I am sure most of you know about the single and twin turbo kits
for our cars and how much they cost, but where do they come from? I hear
the single kit is no longer available, but you can still get the twins
new. How do I contact these people? Any info is very apreciated.
Sincerely, Casey at putsch.1@xxxxxxx

Shannon and List,
That car was sold a few weeks ago to someone in Indianapolis, IN
and, unfortunately, is currently being parted out on ebay.
I say "unfortunately" because the car appeared to be complete and
appeared to be a fairly easy restore.
The good news is that the new owner, Ryan, is using most of the
front end parts to restore his '83 Delorean (previously damaged).
Later,
Rich W.

Subject: electical problem
When I turn off the radio, I can very faintly hear the radio still
playing. Everything else on the car works great - no electrical problems.
If I switch a relay for the accessory relay in an attempt to see if that
solves the problem, which one should I switch? I don't have a spare relay.

Subject: Re: Re: Front Rotor Replacement
You need to replace the old rubber brake lines with the new stainless
brake
lines. I was surprised how much the braking improved once I did that. I
could even do a four wheel brake lockup, which wasn't even possible
before.

Does anybody know who makes NAPA Dot 4 brake fluid?
Is this Dot 4 as good as the GT-LMA fluid?

I would like to remove the ash tray and then re-paint it. The
previous owner used grey spray paint all over the interior and I must
try and undo the damage. Thanks for the help.
