RE: [DML] engine tune-up

["K. Creason" <dmc4687@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

REALLY check those plug wire connections. When I did mine I not only had a
wire (#5, I think) that didn't fit onto the plug right, I had one that
slipped off the rotor.
The funny thing is, it would run ok while idling and sound like it was using
all six.
So, really, really check all those plug wire connections.

Subject: [DML] engine tune-up


just take out the delorean for this summer so now its my daily
driver, but the engine need a little tune-up because since i
replaced some parts and clean up the engine bay now the engine
misfire during driving, just like it was run out of fuel for a
second it does it warm or cold and the acceleration is sluggish all
time...so what are the parts i replaced this winter : distributor
rotor/cap, spark plugs, wires, fuel accumulator, all hose clamps,
belts, fuel filter, oil filter and oil

heres the test i have made : i checked the timing (13 degree without
vacuum), i also adjusted the screw for throttle plates (now the idle
is sitting at 750rpm and the microswitch is pressed when idling), i
also play with the co level screw(allen bolt) i placed it to have
the best engine sound/noise smells with 3-4 road tests, i also
checked all vacuum hoses and spray wd40 where all hoses plugs in
particular the big one under the fuel/air control unit,

symptoms i see : when i start the car : the engine rpm is about
2000rpm for 10sec and after it drop to 750 (a little higher when
cold)

my idea is : i think the engine run too rich

if someone have a hints about it please help me because a delorean
is better when the engine runs fine

thanks
yan
