Can someone give me the diode cross-reference numbers for the one and
three

Subject: Re: DML: stereo amps
John,
Unfortunately you will not be able to mount a amp(s) under the seat but
you
could mount them in the locking storage compartment behind the driver's
side
seat. I've got Alpine sponsorship and they designed the system for my '81
D. I have 2 Alpine amps mounted in this storage space separated by a
shelf
and am using 2 computer cooling fans to help with the added heat. In the
rear storage shelf I have a box with 2 Alpine 10 inch woofers and my CD
shuttle is mounted on the front of the box. They put a plug in for easy
removal so in case I need to get to the fuse box its easy to put in and
take
out. It's a perfect fit. You can see some pics on my web page but the EQ
is old and has been replaced by a digital audio processor w/ graphic
display
(really cool item) I'll be updating the page w/ new pics soon. See if you
can get Alpine sponsorship (or whatever brand is your favorite) and you
can
save a FORTUNE!!! All they ask is for you to go to certain car shows
(just
in your area) and display their equipment. Every time a new product comes
out, (e.q., CD shuttle, tape deck, amps, speakers, ect) you can update
your
equipment any time you want. For me its great because there's just one
car
show that Alpine requires me to go to, and to attract buyers, Alpine has
a
Lamborghini Diablo that they bring in to demo and show their equipment.
It's really cool parking the DeLorean next to the Diablo.
Hope this helps,
Duke

Subject: DML: Idle Speed Adjustment
Well the learning curve continues.As a new owner (4419) and trying to
figure out what the last guy has or has not done,I need some assitance
with setting the idle speed.The throttle cable is free with no hang ups
and from what I can tell the updates on the unit have been done (black
cover over throttle spring ,plastic cap over cable end,ect.).
While reading thru the workshop manual I found the idle adjustment
screw and understand it is to be closed completly.It was open approx.
1/4 turn,I turned the screw until it bottomed out with no change in the
rpm.From a cold start the idle is 900 to 1000 rpms,after 30 to 40
secounds the idle increases to 1500 rpm.Even after the engine is hot the
rpm stays approx 1500 to 1600.With the engine off,when the throtle
cable is moved I can hear the micro switch for low speeds click in and
out.With the engine running the micro switch engaging has no effect on
the rpms.This has been the only adjustment that I have made to the unit.
I've checked for vacumm leaks and have not run across any yet.This
is my first experience with fuel injection and I'm really at a loss on
where to start.This car has not been run since 1993.I've removed and
cleaned out the fuel tank,new fuel pump,replaced the baffle system,new
air filter,new fuel filter and replaced hoses I had damaged while doing
this job.When fuel was added to the tank,I turned the engine over the
thing started right up.The engine runs evenly with no misses and the
exhaust appears to be clean (no smoke of any kind).
Is this a job I should farm out to a mechanic or is there something
I can do to lower the rpm.The last owner had an unqualifed person who
owned a wrench set attempt to repair the car and failed to get the thing
even started.I have run across many wires disconnected or broken.I am
also trying to locate a good electrical diagram of the car and would
appreciate any out of print info. or places to look.
The wires from the thermal switch on the cooling system were broken
off,from trying to install the fuel filter (last owner).When I direct
connect these two wires (hooking them together) the radiator fans start
up,and quit running in 30 seconds then restart and cycle over and over.I
know the relay is in need of replacing,but which one is it?.I plan to
test the thermal switch before I reconnect the wires.
The A/C does not work (may need recharged) but the vent fan operates
fine in all four speeds.The fan will not work in defrost or any other
position.After running the engine then shutting down,I can hear the
vacumm motors open and close when I move the switch.The unit does not
appear to be leaking,is there something eles to check with the inside
fan?
Thanks

Subject: Re: DML: stereo amps
In the later model Fiero's the stock top 'o the line Delco system had
a cylindrical subwoofer (like the Bazooka units) that was mounted
underneath the passenger side of the dashboard and fired straight
down at the floor. With the space that is available underneath the
dash on the passenger side, it seems that such a system could work on
the DeLorean. You could install some very clean dash mounted
tweeters, solid midrange speakers in the stock locations in the rear, and
then a
self powered Bazooka subwoofer under the dash. I don't know if it
would bounce quarters off the roof, but I think you could get some
pretty solid bass response without loosing storage space or modifying
the interior too much.

Subject: DML: Poor MPG / High Idle in Park / Jittery steering
Well, I pretty muched summed it up in the subject...
1) I'm getting pretty low gas mileage (about 15 MPG) any ideas on where to
look? My lambda light is on, should I start with the sensor?
2) When the car is in gear (automatic) I idle in the "normal" range (about
750 rpm) but when I put it in Park, I idle at about 1200 rpm.. this seems
a
little high, is it normal for park?
3) When I am at speeds of about 60 MPH or higher the steering wheel is
just
jittering so much I can't hardly control the car.. It's pretty annoying
trying to pass someone with the feeling that the car is falling apart...
Is
there something wrong, or do Deloreans just feel like a bucket of bolts at
high speeds? I believe my car was lowered by a previous owner, did they
just use bunk springs?
Thanks for the help!

Subject: DML: DeLorean Desktop Theme Updates
Hi,
I've written up some updates on the DeLorean Desktop Theme,
including info on the expansion and the Mac version, dubbed DeLorean OS.
~DMC '95 Expansion 1.0: The official release date is set for Saturday,
July 4th. The expansion is only 1.4 megs. It has been fully tested and
works great. Download it from my page on 7/4/98. It adds lots of nice
things to your desktop theme. It is manually installed and very easy to
do. A READ-ME is included which is easy to follow. Those of you who
contributed to the theme and thought you did not get the credit you
deserved because of the missing credits screen, this expansion will make
you happy.
~DeLorean '95 (Ver. 2.0??)- Yes, already there is another version of
DeLorean '95 due out , nothing really new, just for those who have not
downloaded the theme yet, it will be much smaller in byte size, (same
quality of course) it will include the expansion(s) built right in, and
a start up screen. This theme will not be available untill Fall-Winter
1998. A start-up screen for DeLorean '95 1.0 is due out very soon, will
probably be included in Expansion 2.0
~DeLorean OS- The MAC version of DMC '95 will be officially under way
within days, I don't think I'll update too much on this upcoming theme
much more, because most of the work is going on with the volunteers
putting it together, I'm only directing it this time, and I need to
concentrate on my web-site more.
~DeLorean '95 Patch- A couple weeks ago, right after the release of
Delorean '95 I released a patch, this patch adds the DeLorean Desktop
Backgrounds , you do not need this patch if you downloaded the theme
after 6/8/98, but if you do need it, then download it before 7/4/98
because it is coming down on that day.
All the downloads mentioned in this message are available at my site at
http://members.tripod.com/~Phoenix007/index.html
Later,

Subject: DML: RE: Battery Drain
For those of you with new batteries and decent alternators that still
experience battery performance issues, I urge you to check your positive
line out of your alternator. If it is still the original, it may be
degraded sufficiently to not provide adequate juice to the system. My
stock
wire consisted of three crimped heavy gauge brown wires. Within the
crimped
ends, enough corrosion was going on to significantly increase the
resistance
of this lead, thereby resulting in dead battery syndrome. Once I replaced
this with a new cable, and cleaned up my major grounding connections, my
problem vanished! Hope this helps. Good luck,
Eric Hennebury

Subject: DML: DeLorean Spotting
I saw a fellow DeLorean in Palatine, IL, today, Illinois plates "D 292
711". Anyone on the list? It's weird accidently having two DeLoreans in
once place together. I tried to get the driver to pull over, but he
wasn't
too interested, but he had a nice car, black stripe and white bumper
letters. I think we actual caused quite a car accident because we were
both driving together at one point and I think we caused a driver to not
pay attention to the car in front of him. Three car pileup, but I was too
busy trying to get his attention, that the accident may have been
unrelated.

Subject: DML: Adding Bass To The DMC
Finally something in my area of knowledge :-). There has been some talk
of
upgrading the stereo, and specifically on how to add more bass. I too
have
been thinking about this for a while and have come up with three options
that don't require any modification to the vehicle and preserve cargo
space.
The first is to use wedge-shaped subwoofer boxes behind the seats. These
boxes are designed for standard-cab pickup trucks where the seats are all
the way against the rear bulkhead, like the D, and are slanted on one
side
to allow the seat to recline. They simply wedge (no pun intended) into
place behind the seats, and are easily removed for access to the battery
and
storage compartment. They can even be finished off using stock carpet so
they will look like an integral part of the car. They will, however,
require you to add an amp to power the speakers.
The second option is to use Bazooka Bass Tubes. They look just like
their
name would suggest (a long, cylindrical tube with a speaker on one end
and a
port on the top), and these also fit behind the seat, or, if you prefer,
you
can mount them on the rear package shelf. Behind the seats would
probably
be better, since this hides them from thieves. The best part about the
Bazookas is that they're self-amplified, so you don't need a seperate
amp.
The way that they work is that you buy the amplified tube, and then if
you
feel that you need more bass, you add on a non-amplified "slave" unit to
be
driven off the first one. This is probably the best choice.
The final choice is to mount a device called Aura Bass Shakers under each
seat. These look like little land mines and are not true subwoofers, but
instead give the presence of bass by shaking the seat. They are also
self-
amplified.
Find a good car stereo store and have them give you a demonstration of
each
of these, and then decide what will work best.
Peace!
Mike

Subject: Re: DML: stereo amps
Under the seat? Some amps will fit some will not.
Some of the problems you will encounter in choosing and installation of
the
amp or amps.
There will be many wires going in and coming out of the amp.
Input "feed" wires are thick.
Output wires are many.
Wiring may get sloppy.
Some amps will run "hot." Under the seat? Have a hot seat?
Make sure you get a thin one in height for your under the seat
installation.
A couple of bounces and your rear end will be amped.
Not too many amps available with good sound and size to match, if you
want to
keep the Delorean's interior original without "major modifications."
Amp size is equated to output. Small amp, low output. Big amp, higher
output.
I have made minor modifications and changes to the amp that I have found
for
my purposes, without changes to the Delorean's interior.
Another important factor is to upgrade the alternator or have a good
battery
such as an "Optima" installed otherwise you are inviting trouble! High
power
amps eats up a lot of power.
Speakers choices and placement becomes a financial and engineering job.
We
will leave this to another time.
Sound choices?
Do you like thick or thin sound? Massive overwhelming or transparent
polite
sound? Loud and dominating, or accurate and clean image?
With sound you may like I may not. I may like it you may not. Sound is
very
subjective.
Sound equipment and the environment -- in a car, home, studio, stage,
outdoor
etc., has a lot to do in reproducing the sound field and imaging.
Just another word of advise about sound. If the sound is not right to
your
ears, you may get "listening fatigue" from extreme high "top" end and or
low
"heavy" pitches. A phenomena known in psycho-acoustics, although the
sound is
considered good to many others.
Listening fatigue and long drives will tired you, it will put you to sleep
fast behind the wheel.

The background on the car is that it speent 2 years in a farmers field in
the Nevada desert then the boy am getting it from has just let it sit in
his driveway.
I call it a 'basket case' because the interior is thrashed including the
dash, the left window is broken, the rear louvers are broken, the body has
been 'bondo'd in spots, etc. It is a cosmetic basket case. I do not have
the car at my garage yet so I cannot say if the engine runs or not, but
the
spark plugs are all missing, othewise the engine looks complete.
If anyone is interested in the engine only at thipoint give me a call at

Subject: DML: Re: Poor MPG / High Idle in Park / Jittery steering
Dave,
Illumination of the Lamda warning lamp only means that the O2 sensor is
due
to be replaced, this should not drastically effect your gas mileage. The
02
sensor can easily be changed by any repair facility. If your idle speed is
at 1200 RPM in Park or Neutral it means that your idle speed system is not
operating. Finally, your Delorean should be "rock solid", no vibration
right up to 126 mph. Your problem is probably tire related. The DeLorean
suspension system is a performance (racing) type suspension system and
must
be precisely aligned. Get your car to an alignment shop that specializes
in
performance vehicles, ask if they can do "on the car" wheel balancing, not
by computer. They will be able to diagnose and fix your "jitter" problem.
Be aware that while your car is jittering your causing excessive wear to
your tires. If you would like you may call me or e-mail me directly for
information on how to correct your idle speed and poor mileage problem.

Subject: DML: Re: Idle Speed Adjustment
Richard,
>From your description your idle speed system is not working, here's an
easy
test. With the ignition switch on and engine not running you should feel
the idle speed motor vibrating slightly, if it isn't you may have an open
or frozen motor, a bad idle speed ECU, or a wiring problem. The three
brass
idle speed and idle balance screws should all be closed, they are for
Volvo
applications only. For details go to D:05:01in your workshop manual for
information on how the system operates and M:18:09 for a complete wiring
diagram.
The circuit breaker that is just to the left of your fuse block
(black/orange wires) is for your cooling fans, it is probably an original
and needs to be upgraded to a 40 amp unit.
I'm a little confused about your A/C fan problem, you said "the fan will
not work in defrost or any other position." What position do they operate
in? For a complete schematic wiring diagram for your A/C fan see M:18:19

of the body panals be taken off? If not, how are all other surfaces

know that there were machines made for DMC specifically. Is this the
only one that can be used? If most of the car's body needs re-grained
