Subject: Re: Water Pump woes, nearing end of tear down.

Have you ever used a helicoil thread insert? I'm afraid the driller
outers are correct on this one, and it is going to be extremely hard
to drill straight through the broken bolt. Your removal hole will most
likely end up off center or at an angle. But you can carefully work up
to a larger clean hole, tap it, and step yourself back down with a
helicoil. May end up SAE (my small town parts houses don't stock
metric helicoils), but at least pump will be snug.

Curious what happened? Steel and aluminum, in the presence of
moisture, weld themselves together. I've actually seen a graded steel
bolt take a hunk of aluminum out of an intake manifold. On the plus
side, your helicoil will eventually weld itself to the block better
than the original tapped hole, and the new bolt will be seated on
steel threads for easier removal next time.

Good luck.

Scott, See below.
John Hervey

<< Recently I posted a message asking for ideas on what could be causing
 the drop in power at full throttle once the engine started going past
 4000 rpm.
 
 I installed a gauge to measure fuel system pressures.
 
 All reading were taken on a cold engine, 70 F ambient temperature. ( what
are your raedings hot.)
 
 Control Pressure = 2 bar
 Primary Pressure = 4.9 bar
 Rest Pressure = 2.9 bar
 Rest Pressure after 10 minutes = 2.5 bar
 
 Looking at my chart, it looks like primary pressure is at the bottom end
 of the allowable checking pressure 4.9 to 5.5 bar.
 I can set the primary pressure to the setting range of 5.1 to 5.3 bar.
 
 My question is;
 
 Will raising the primary pressure affect the Control Pressure? ( Yes ).
 
 Is there a way to adjust the Control Pressure?( Yes, But by the experts. )
 
 How is it done? >> ( Take the fuel dist off and send it to me. )

The fuel pump doesn't create the pressure, all it does is pump volume of gas.
The restrictions create the pressure. The primary pressure can only be
adjusted by a shim in the unit. ( Picture on my web site.) When it's right (
Yes )  it also creates a back pressure ( trying to keep the gas from going
back to the tank) which will raise or lower the control pressure which in
turn will allow the control plunger to up or down sending gas to the
injectors. Speaking of injectors, Have they been cleaned or replaced. You may
be starving the car gas at high RPM because the injectors are partially
stopped up.

Subject: Transmission Miracle! Thanks David

hi all
I just had to post this. My Automatic Transmission Has caused me
problems ever since I got my DMC 2.5 years ago and nobody seemed to
know what was wrong with it. It just kept getting worse and worse, so
much so that I had decided to give up and dicth the A/T for a M/T.
that was when I recived an e-mail from David Teitelbaum advising me
against the very costly swap and offered to help diagnos my A/T
problem. I thought "well if nobody else could figure it out with the
car right in front of them, how is this guy going to help me over the
internet, but what do I have to loose" so I gave him a discription of
my problem and he gave me instructions how to build a light box.
after we found out the problem he instructed me to remove the
computer and gave me instructions on how to repair it and even
offered to give it a shot if I wans't handy with a soldering iron
(which I'm not). so he gave me directions on where to send it and
everything, so I did. After David worked his magic he sent it back to
me a little conserned about the kickdown. well Long story short I put
the computer back in the car and it WORKED PERFECTLY! I was so happy
my dmc is ALIVE again. David, You are a life saver! it shifts better
than it ever has even the Kickdown. My advice to anyone out there
that has a mysteriuos problem with their Automatic DeLorean, E-mail
David Teitelbaum (jtrealty<AT>webspan.net) He Knows what he's Talking
about!
Again Thanks DAVID
Happy Holidays to Everyone

Subject: Re: wet carpet pad

Josh

When I lived in Houston (lots of heavy rains)I and several D owners
would chase water leaks. For one leak with symptoms similar to yours
we found water actually coming in at the door seal where the curve
begins at the area of the light switches. The water would run down
the channel and come in under the seal at the curve and accumulate
in front of the seat. This was especially true if a seal was rotated
or replaced. A generous amount of black silicone under the seal for
about 5 or 6 inches before the bend and at the bend stopped the leak
every time.

The other leak sounds similar to ones we had when the drain to the
outside near the fuel pump cover would get blocked. The water would
fill up in the drain space until eventually the water would spill
into the air intake and then all over in the car. Usually out the
air feed at the fan motor that would of course eventually screw that
up.

There is a DeLorean bulletin about finding leaks that is in one of
the manuals that DMC, Grady and others have available. That is a
good help also.

Have success, Harold McElraft 3354

Subject: DeLorean's Soul

This is an interesting question that my girlfriend and I were
pondering over the other night. It suppose it could be applied to any
car, but moreso to a rare (some would call it an endangered species
of) car such as ours.
What actually makes our DeLorean OUR car. Or better phrased; what
determines if vin 4009 is still vin 4009.
Some may say simply the vin plates or the legallity of the situation,
but that's hardly romantic enough for MY DeLorean.
Some may say the Frame... but can I not give my car a NEW Stainless
frame? And yet she would still be 4009.
In fact, over the course of 50 years I could go through the car and
practically replace EVERY part of the car, and yet she would retain
the vin 4009. Putting aside such trite things as "the law" or "common
sense"; why is it that a car that (hypothetically) 50 years ago
consisted of completely different parts... is still consider by the
owners and world at large to be the SAME CAR?
Do our cars have some intangible essence akin to a soul? That after
I've replaced the engine with a Northstar v8 (again hypothetical,
I've no plans to do that), and replaced the frame with a stainless
one, and am forced to replace all the stainless pieces due to hail
damage, etc... etc... IT IS STILL THE SAME CAR?
At what point do we give in and admit we've hacked the car too
much... that it has undergone too extensive of repair to still be
considered vin4009... or even a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 at all!?

Hey, the list has been kinda slow... humor my crazed rantings-

Subject: Re: DeLorean's Soul

Well you know it wouldn't go to long before I would
have to put my 2 cents in here and the list knows me
to good at this point hehe :D. DeLorean soul... Vins
and titels aside. what really makes up a cars soul is
infact not really the car. It's actually the people
behind the car. When I'm done with 5386 theres not
going to be a whole lot left thats original. lets face
it people. parts ware out, things fall off. In the end
it is the stamp or attitude of the car that remains.
even long after a car is say gone, it's soul can still
live on. When I got my DeLorean I instantly knew what
I was gonna do. I saw the car and it spoke to me. Ahh
no... there were no booming voices from heaven. Every
car has it's own personality, every DeLorean does have
a soul but it's the people who come along and touch it
that make it who and what it is. You could strip all
the indenifications off of all the Deloreans, line
them up and let the owners walk around them. I
guarentee every owner could pick out there own car. I
have a bond with my D, we know each other as weird as
that is. My car is happy, it's glad to be restored, I
have no problems working on it. When I sit in it I
feel like it's my best friend, I have put my own
personality into it creating a type of soul. A car is
not a car unless the people who own them take care of
them and treat them with respect and dignity. Okay I
gotta go the men in the white coats want to talk to
me, lol!

Subject: Calander

DML Members

We are putting together a 2003 Delorean Calander that should go out
with our first issue of Gullwing Magazine.

If you have that special shot that you think is calander material and
would like to send it in for consideration...now is the time!  If you
have a pic that helps depict the season... spring, summer, fall,
winter (D-Rex this is where you come in) that would be great.  Dont
be bashful.  We will look at everything from Concours to Custom and
the daily drivers to.  Please include a short bio of yourself and the
car.

A high resolution (300+ dpi) jpeg file would be best, but we will
find a way to work with what you may have.

Several of the months are taken but we have more to fill.  Lets have
fun with this!

Thanks
Ron & Cheryl Wester
Gullwing Magazine

James, interesting--I never knew there could be such a thing as DeLorean philosophy/metaphysics.  So if you close a DeLorean gull wing door in a forest, does it make a sound? :)

Honestly, I have no answer to your question--but I would start with asking if it is ever feasible that an owner *would* replace *every single* but of car that is original, meaning all screws, carpet pieces, knobs, windows, etc.  If it is probably never going to happen (?), then maybe we never need to worry about the issue, because as long as *something* original exists, it can still be considered its VIN number, right?

Well James, you could still retain the same vin but call it 4009
ver.1a or 2b or 3a and so on and so forth.  Then you could tell
people you own 4009 verson 6.2 or whatever.

<< Do our cars have some intangible essence akin to a soul?  >>

Personifying your DMC as having a soul is the product of your mind projecting
it's own perceptions onto the car. When you look into it's head lights do you
see the divinity of the Almighty? Simply put, if you see your car as having a
soul, then thats your own creation and it may very well seem real to you. But
not to me. Be sure to write back when it starts talking to you... ( Remember
"My Mother The Car" ? )....

Anyway, if it indeed had a soul, then it should know right from wrong and
should always start, never let it's doors sag, and always get good fuel
mileage....If it did have a a soul, then it could aspire to become the
proverbial "Buddah",  that so many followers (aka: other unenlightened 
makes)  are afraid to "meet on the road"....

All in fun... :-)

Keep in mind that every cell in your body is replaced with a nice shiny
new one (assuming proper meiosis); on average, your entire body is
swapped out every 6-8 years or so (is there a biologist in the house? Do
I have that right?). Are you still the same person you were?

Putting aside for the moment the fact that brain cells don't experience
this (that whole 'romantic' thing again), I'd say that I'm still me
because I'm still recognizable as such. I can look in the mirror and
say "yup. I recognize that guy...he's me!" So one defintion would be
that a DMC (or any car) ceases to be one when you can't look at it and
say that it is. If you went though 4009 (or I through 2867) and over the
course of a few years replaced every part with a non-DMC (either OEM
or new replacement) part, at some point you would no longer have a DMC;
you would have something you (or I) had cobbled together from the ground
up. Rich's projects are (obviously) still Ds (although I personally feel
the hovercraft is stretching that pretty close to the limit. =)  ) as is
Curtis' or Rick G's car, because despite the fact they've been altered
to hell and gone, you can still look at them and say "yup. that's a DMC."

That doesn't fully define it, though; the car doesn't necessarily need
to be identifiable as such by any layperson. If it did, I suspect none
of us would have DMCs. ;) Mine's been identified as (in no particular order):

    * a lamborghini
    * "who makes a 'delorean'? toyota? honda?"
    * "what the heck is /that/?"

So, to refine the definition, it should be identifiable as a DMC by
someone who knows DMCs. If you replaced the frame with an SS one,
dropped a NorthStar in the back, gave it groundskirts, custom wheels,
and a paintjob, anyone on this list would still be able to identify it as
a DMC, and therefore it would be.

Now, as to when 4009 would stop being 4009 because you'd replaced a good
number of the bits with other DMC parts, I'd say that's subjective. At
what point does the car no longer /feel/ like 4009? If you wound up
replacing all the bits that had the VIN, I suspect it would be 4009
until/unless you sold it to someone who didn't know you or the car up
until then, at which point they'd likely start thinking of it as
whatever VIN the DMV thought it was (it doesn't /feel/ like 4009 to that
person, because they never met her). The car is inextricably linked to
the person who loves it (usually, but not necessarily the owner), and
will likely keep the identity associated to it by its current lover.
Interestingly, if your car was passed down to a relative, it would (I
suspect) keep the same identity, which opens up a whole new philosophical
debate. =)

Subject: Re: DeLorean's Soul

I believe the DeLorean's "soul" is different for everyone. Our DeLorean, VIN
4275 is almost completely stock, except for window regulators and a
fanzilla-thats about it. The tires are also new (BFGoodrich Radial T/As are
very good). 4275 is 4275 to me as long as I know what is being done to it, if
anything. To me, I believe our DMC will remain stock....well, stock enough to
keep it close to up to date. I still see D Rex as a DeLorean. I still think
the Back to the Future vehicles are DeLoreans. I guess the best way for me to
describe it is in the movie "Christine." The kid restoring the 1958 Plymouth
Fury may have gone through it quite a bit, replacing old/damaged parts and
such, but the evil soul of the car was alive.

Although this posting was random and made no sense, it makes sense to me or
something.
