Re: [DML] Engine dies when clutch is engaged

Ken,

If the acceleration enrichment circuit is disabled the engine will stall when under load. When the engine is idling can you hear the frequency valve buzzing; if not you have found the source of the problem.

Subject: [DML] Engine dies when clutch is engaged


I'm trying to help solve a problem one of our local club members is
having. He just had a local shop replace the radiator and hoses (all ordered
from one of the reputable major DeLorean suppliers) and everything seemed to
go well. He drove the car for a day with no problems but the next day the
car would die as soon as he would start to engage the clutch. The car starts
and idles well and will rev up fine in neutral. But as soon as the clutch
starts to engage the engine will sputter and die. Now the car is sitting
out, unable to make it up into the garage.

To me this sounds like a vacuum line. But we've gone over every one of them
and have not found a thing. If we can't find an answer soon he'll have to
attend the club BBQ on Sunday using his motorcycle. Does anyone have any
ideas??

Ken
