[DML] Re: Couple Questions- Coolant System & Idle

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Josh - In regards to the question on bleeding air from the cooling 
system, I would recommend getting one of our self-bleeder kits, with 
our exclusive radiator air bleeder feature (K1012DP).  The air will 
literally be automatically eliminated from your cooling system, now 
and whenever you perform necessary maintenance in the future.  It 
will save you lots of time over the long haul, and will prevent air 
accumulation caused by minor leaks and other problems.  Naturally, 
you should repair or correct any problems with the cooling system in 
order to maintain proper cooling system function.

In terms of the cold idle question - The behavior that you describe 
is fairly typical to one degree or another in most DeLoreans.  
People have been able to tune some of it out, and others have 
various modifications and hardware tweaks to eliminate it.  Don't 
worry though - it is normal behavior for a DeLorean.  My 
car, "Winged1" lopes for about 30 seconds, and then settles in to a 
smooth idle.  Others take several minutes.
