Re: [DML] HELP!...idle & trans. trouble

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

Richard,

The DeLorean is equipped with a Constant "automatic" Idle Speed System; the
idle is basically non-adjustable. Most high idle problems are a result of an
electrical malfunction in this circuit or out of alignment throttle
component.

Most auto transmission shifting problems are due to a defective Governor
Computer.
