This is true, what I meant with the freeer flow of the exhaust gasses can
be
understood best if you compare the cat with a revolving door: a limited
amount
of people can go through per time unit. The people that cannot go through
right
away crowd up the space just before the door, to get through as soon as
possible, if you remove the door the people can go through much faster, so
there
is no crowding. With gasses this is the same: the cat is restrictive, so
this
accumulates gasses just before the cat, at the connection where the X-over
pipe
meets the left manifold and that is where the O2-sensor sits... (just in
front
of the "door")

I'll just see what the shop comes up with tomorrow; I passed along all
good tips
I got.
The O2-sensor can be ruled out if you ask me: this was replaced less than
1500
miles ago for my cars' first 30,000 miles service :-)

Subject: RE: Car Show Flyer
If you check in the Vault/Files section of Yahoo Groups under
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews/files/tri-fold/ there is a Trifold
brochure in Adobe Acrobat format that I created for handing out at car
shows.
Hope this helps!

Subject: [DML] Car Show Flyer
I have searched the archives with no luck as of yet. I remember and had a
copy of a small flyer giving the details of the DeLorean for car shows and
such. I am going to be interviewed by our local newspaper and would like
to
keep the info as accurate as possible. If anyone has this please email me
directly or attach it to an email.
Thanks

They probably aren't...
Have you checked both fuses #4 AND #6 ??? If tose are both OK, I'd check
if the
plug on the back of the Hazard switch is seated well: the blinker unit
(#60 in
the diagram) gets its power through this switch, if you remove this switch
the
whole circuit doesn't work if I remember correctly...
I remembered reading you checked out the mode switch a little while ago
(msg #
17956); you probably knocked the plug off or loose...
The wiring to this particular switch seems a bit strange, this has to do
with
the fact that if you draw too much power from the blinker you get a
different
frequency (slower), just as you get a faster blink when one bulb is out...
Hope this helps,

Subject: Re: Nationality of DeLorean
The Vehicle Identification number
SCEDT26T7BD000500,
The first character is the country code. In the case of British
manufactured cars such as, Lotus, TVR, MG, Rolls Royce, Jaguar, DeLorean,
etc., etc., this is indicated by an "S"
As for whether or not if the DMC was made in the United States at the
time is questionable.
DeLorean commented that the automotive press was not very happy with
the
majority of American made cars, or manufactures 20-25 years ago.
The innovations that the Japanese manufactures achieved were hailed by
the auto magazines shortly after the DeLorean saga in the early 1980s.
Maybe the DeLorean should have been built in Japan.

Michael Pack
