Re: [DML] Re: Inadequate DeLorean Grounding Identified (Big Red Circle)

[Marc Levy <malevy_nj@xxxxxxxxx>]

You have provided nothing to back up this statement (below).

We do not know WHY the capacitors were added, but anyone that understands how a capacitor works would also understand how a bigger ground wire would never replace a the need/function of a capacitor. 

"noise" problems and "ground" problems are commonly confused, but are not cured in the same way.  The discussion (for me) was never about what advantages/disadvantages/need there is for bigger (or additional) grounds, but your connecting these 2 unrelated subjects and again blaming the engineers for it.

Considering I have an EFI DeLorean, with LOTS of extra electrical demand over a stock DMC (because of the 1000W Stereo), this is a subject I have spent a lot of time working on, with the specific application of a DeLorean.

The nice people at Lotus/DMC stuck capacitors all over the car trying to quiet things down. They would have had better results with the 1981 equivalent of $50 of battery cable and copper connectors.
