Re: [DML] Idle speed regulator question.

Robert,

There are three versions of the Bosch idle speed motor. Although they look
different they all operate under the same specifications. The factory
installed version found in all DeLoreans was finished in black specifically
for the DeLorean application.

The condition you are describing has nothing to do with the idle speed
motor, if the idle speed drops excessively than the throttle stop screw is
out of calibration.

The Bosch model number for all versions is the same i.e.: 0 280140 500
there, is an additional number i.e.: 146 for black (early) and 745 for gold
(late).

Subject: [DML] Idle speed regulator question.


I have a question about the idle speed regulator. On all the
DeLorean's that I've looked at, I've noticed that there are 2
versions of the idle speed regulator: A black one, and a gold/brass
colored one. On every DeLorean I've seen that has the black on
installed (including mine), the engine comes down quickly from a rev,
then dips below 700 rpm's. When the happens the engine always
shutters and almost dies. Most time it is so bad that the alternator
warning light will sometimes illuminate. On the car's w/the gold
colored units, the engine always comes down gently to it's idle and
never goes below 750± rpm's. My question is this: 1. Does anyone know
the BOSCH # for this 2nd version? 2. Which version do the parts
suppliers ship?
