I apologize for using the list for this but I can't think of a better
way to try and get a hold of this guy...This evening (Tuesday, Oct.
17th) between 6:15 and 6:30 PM my father and I were pasted by a DeLorean
with obvious engine/exhaust mods (visible from rear) and black "DMC"
decals just below the side vents, aft of the doors on I-71 north just
south of I-275 in Cincinnati.
    Any chance the owner of this vehicle is on the list?  I'd love to
chat if you're out there...I was the one trying to communicate a shared
passion in the form of incomprehensible statements from the beat up 85
Honda next to you.
    I'll look forward to hearing from you if you're out there!

Hey,
    This brings up an interesting question...I originally assumed that DEL-CO
stood for Delaware County Towing, (which is the area his business serves) but I
realize that it could just as easily be DeLorean Company Towing, as in..."Hey,
the company that towed my car is the same company who works on all those
DeLoreans".
    Do you know if Dave makes a clear distinction or does he purposefully leave
it up to the customer to figure out which it is, depending on what you've come
to him for?

Subject: Re: Power to the window motors

Jim, I don't have current draw on the motors, but if you have a day or two I
will test them. Just a bit of intresting note. When I had my coolant fans out
to rebuild. With no blades on the motors and no load, they draw about 1.5
amps ea.. As soon as I put the blades back on then they went to 11.5 amps.
Then they go about 2 -3 amp more when mounted up next to the radiator. I
built a plug in module for the fan fail relay and fused them them at 15 amps
on ea leg. Works great and not over fused.

ANSWERs

It would be impossible to sniff out a leak, there is nothing added to freon
12 to give it a smell

In the quantity that a normal leak would release it is not deadly or even to
normal people enough to make you sick. I would not stay in a car if a pipe
blew and filled the passenger compartment with Freon-12.   It may be
possible that if the car is burning and the gas burns that it may be bad to
inhale, but with all else burning who is going to stay around to find
out....

If you need to recharge I have had excellent results with upgrading to
R-134a

Well it works like this, I've had literally about 40 people wanting the domain name, and I can't really choose who should have it. Also I think James Esprey at one time wanted it, maybe he's a reasonable person to give it to, but I just can't choose. Whoever does get it unfortunately will have to pay $50 for the transfer (I can give you the details later). Contact me for any info.

   From: "Walter" <Whalt@xxxxxxx>
Subject: Lambda relay tricks

Someone asked me how to jumper out the Lamba relay for diagnostic purposes.
I am posting my directions here for the benefit of the group.

There are two ways to go about it.  First determine which relay is the
Lambda relay.  It's in the row towards the rear of the car and the second
from the drivers side.  Pull the thing out and see what it looks like.  The
socket has 5 connections.  The connections on the car's right (#86) and left
(#85) should have 12 volts across them when the ignition is switched on.
This powers the electro-magnet in the relay and causes it to switch on.

The remaining 3 connections act like a double pole, single throw switch
(DPST) in an unlikely configuration.  This is what makes it hard to figure
out how to jumper it.

The connection toward the front of the car (#30) is common to both 'throws'
of the switch.  When the ignition is switched off, all the switch's poles
are isolated.  When the ignition is switched on, the electro-magnet is
energized turning it into a magnet.  This magnet attracts the metal arm
(#30) of the switch and pulls it into connection with the remaining switch
contacts (#87 & #87b), thus electrically 'shorting together' contacts #30,
#87, & #87b.

If you want to make this happen without the relay in place, stick jumper
wires in the relay socket shorting together these three connections.  If you
decide to try this, be careful not to inadvertently disassemble the socket.
The female spade lug connectors in the socket are made to come out and are
supposed to come loose when you stick a wire down beside them.  Sometimes
these fall or get pushed out of the socket by accident or when heat causes
the plastic to deform.

Another way to test this circuit is to remove the cover from the lambda
relay (provided it is one with a metal cover that can be removed without
damaging it.)  Just straighten out the little crimps at it's base and pry it
off.  Then plug the coverless relay back into it's socket.  Using your
finger, press the little metal arm of the switch causing the contacts to
connect.  With the ignition switched off, you should then hear the frequency
valve buzzing if everything else is right.  Since the electro-magnet whet
bad in my relay, I used a tiny alligator clip to hold the contacts together
while I drive the car.

And if you try any of this stuff, do it at your own risk.  These relays are
hard to pry out of the sockets anyway.  The Lambda relay is even harder to
get out with it's cover off.  Having these electrical connections exposed
increases your chances of shorting things out causing a fire or meltdown.

Hope this helps,
Walt    Tampa, FL

Help!  I need to sell my car!
It is appraised at $26,500 and I am asking $22,000 (I have put a lot of work
into it since appraisal as well).  But I must sell the car, so will
entertain all offers (though I am asking $4,500 or more UNDER what the car
is worth).

Here are the stats:

August 1981 DeLorean (hood grooves, no flap)
5-speed manual trans.
gray interior (new seats and shift boot).
under 50,000 miles

NEW STUFF:
seats
shift boot
stainless steel bumper letters
stainless steel door sill letters
stainless steel label kit
stainless steel throttle cover
factory luggage rack
windshield squirter nozzle
horns
pull straps
door struts
STARTER
arm rest extension caps
drivers side escutcheon
stove pipe
engine cover stay assy.
all 4 tires
steering column shrouding
battery
others. . . .

more information available at http://www.babbtechnology.com/forsale

e-mail michael(at)babbtechnology.com or call 919.270.2488 for details as
well

This car is in better condition than a lot of the other "perfect" DeLoreans
out there. It is an award winning show car, and a reliable daily driver!

Subject: Re: back firing,  no start

How did you make sure it is getting plenty of fuel? A quick test
would
be to try to start the engine while spraying just a LITTLE ether into
the intake. If it sputters and or starts then you can assume it isn't
getting fuel.How did you check for spark? If you just checked the
wire
from the coil then how do you know if the distributer, rotor, spark
plug wires, and plugs are ok. When you removed the cap and wires and
plugs are you sure that you reinstalled all of that correctly? A
problem that you started with may now be compounded because you
messed
up the firing order or reinstalled some other component improperly.
You need to start at the beginning because if you really do have
spark and fuel then you should see some life as you try to start the
motor. Remember that at idle when cold most of the fuel will be
supplied by the cold start valve. Backfiring out off the intake could
be a sign of either mixed up spark plug wires or the firing order is
way off. In Richmond Jack Singer couldn't get his car to run after
replacing the mixture valve. It turned out to be that the mixture
ajusting screw was way off. When Rob Grady gave it about 2 turns it
ran fine. (Normaly it just gets adjusted about 1/8 turn).Now I am not
saying to go touch the mixture valve but what I am saying is that if
you don't know what you are doing you can cause more problems then
what you started with. Any good mechanic starting now with your car
would start from the beginning verifing each system and component as
he goes along taking nothing for granted like do the spark plug wires
go to the right places and is the distributer cap on right? By
troublshooting with a shotgun and taking things apart without
diagnosing a trouble you may introduce additional problems. A good
spark means nothing if it doesn't get to the right cylinder at the
right time.

Thanks for your response.
   I asked around today, and I found a good place to finance though.
They offered good rates, good terms, and they didn't ask for a
million items of paperwork to apply. I gave them a copy of the DMC
insurance letter, and a photocopy of the inspection report I did on
the car, and an insurance quote, even though they required none of
those.

   As for the condition of the vehicle, you're right. It's definately
worth more than is being asked. That's why I'm jumping on it. As soon
as I have the check, I'll be picking it up. I'll let everyone here
know about it next week when the deal is done! :)

Louie, you couldn't be any more right. I've bought several cars off ebay,
(and else where) and when it all comes down to it, its a roll of the dice.
Infact, the best deal was off ebay, (but i'm not saying ebays is the best)
and I bought the car for 66$. (yes, that is not a typo) But it was in South
Bend IN, and I live in South Dakota, so it cost (at least) 150$ in gas to
get there, but when I got it home, I tinkered with it, got it running fine
and it towed home 2 more with it. I'm not saying that ebay will get you a
perfect car, but when you enter your bid amount, you take a chance of
getting a over sized paper weight, or a car  worth the money you payed.
