Since you appear to be new to Deloreans I would recomend you read the 
owner's manual. I also suggest you have the brake and clutch fluid 
flushed and refilled with Castrol GTLMA DOT 4. Also flush and replace 
the anti-freeze. Keep the tires inflated as per the label in the glove 
box. Consider installing a Fanzilla and unless you have a Lockzilla 
disconnect the lock module. Have the car checked for the installation 
of the recalls and relay upgrades. If you don't have the Workshop 
Manual and Parts Manual get them. You may not understand them but they 
will be very helpful to whoever you take your car to for service. Find 
the nearest group of "D" owners and they will help you also. Depending 
on mileage and age you may be due for a complete tune-up, not just an 
air filter.
