Yeah, I just recently went through and cleaned up all the grounds. It's
helped, but I'm still fighting a low voltage at idle problem. For the
time being, though, the AC clutch seems to be staying engaged almost all
the time it should. It's sometimes not holding when the engine drops to
idle, but it grabs again as soon as I start moving.

Subject: Florida get-together
Good day everyone
Last March at the last minute, a group of Delorean owners in Florida
planned a successful get-together with seven cars showing up. We
would like to beat that number this time. We are tentatively
planning a function for sometime soon in Central Florida and would
like everyone's input as to what they would like to do and when.
I am offering my home as a meeting place. I have plenty of room so
we can help make door adjustments and light repairs. With this many
Delorean owners, there should be plenty of help and ideas to go
around.
I would like to follow this up with evening car show, which occurs
almost every weekend of every month at a different spot in the
Central Florida area. Or if anybody has any good ideas, please let
all of us know.
Thanks,
Ken

For all of us that truly believe that not any Delorean should be a
parts car and all are really up for restoration, you might just
think again because when I say this car on Ebay, I really changed my
mind that all Deloreans are restoration projects. This is one of
those cars that will challenge you from the ground up. Anyone with
lots of cash to rebuild this car?? Not me!

Sure you can reupholster both! I know of quite a few people that have simply covered their binnacles in leather, instead of buying new ones. It looks great! Most any auto upholstery shop can recover your steering wheel as well. I've even seen where people have recovered their steering wheels in grey to match their interiors too :-) . There was a company that people were sending their steering wheels off to a few years ago... but the name evades me. But I'd be willing to bet you can find someone in your area who can take care of both of these.

Subject: Idle speed sensor
Mark, a thermistor is not a simple contact closure. Thermistors are
resistors that change their resistance with temperature, either
increasing or decreasing in resistance with a change in temp. (They
come in two flavors called positive or negative coefficent.) The idle
thermistor in the Delorean is used to alter the idle speed setpoint
depending on coolant temp. On my car a custom circuit is used to
exploit this function so as to increase the idle 200 rpm when I have
the headlights or A/C on.
This sensor is not on or off like a switch. You can't look for a
contact closure, you need to measure it with an ohmmeter while you
change it's temperature. The spec escapes me at the moment but if it
changes resistance (somewhere below the 10K ohm range as I recall) as
you heat and cool it, then the odds are it's probably working. Use
only an ohmmeter, if you pull to much current through it (by using a
large 12 volt test light for example) you could damage it.

Is it possible to recover the dashboard? I'm assuming something
like this has to be taken out to recover. The problem I see with
taking it out is that it may break into pieces. I have a couple of
cracks in my dash. If the dash is recovered, is there still room to
install it back into the car or does the added leather get in the

Subject: RE: Angle-torqueing
Rich,
If you read earlier in the workshop manual (in the torque value
area), you will see the proper head bolt torquing sequence is
pretorque to 15, bring it up to 45, break and retorque to 15 and then
angle tighten to 115 degrees.
You can try a few of you local autoparts stores or a real tool store
to find the angle torque wrench. I simply made one out of a disk of
paper and used a compass and protractor to mark off 115 degrees. I
attached it with tape to the socket and used my regular torque
wrench. Also, the Volvo 760 GLE (foir a 1984) shows another way to
do make your own, but it doesn't work if you retorque after the run
in period (after a half hour of running engine). Don't forget to
drain down the antifreeze if you do this, otherwise it is very messy!

Good news!
Fixed my blown water pump, and after I found that my poor job of
torqueing the crankshaft pulley nut resulted in a 100% loose nut, and
a loose pulley, I have all back together.
Oh yeah, while it was out I installed a Audiovox CCS-100 cruise
control, which fit nicely in the spot for the digital clock and I was
able to install it with minimal modification (only hole I had to
drill in my D was in the engine electrical compartment. I modified
the wiring to the "A/C Panel Illumination" relay at the same time,
and most of the wiring I needed for the cruise was found there. I
picked up the extra post on the dimmer thermistor in the center
console for the other I needed.

Subject: Does your DeLorean subconsciously influence your actions?
No harm meant Jeff, but since your non-DeLorean carfax request was let through I
will try this rejected topic again and expect it to get through since it does
contain "informative content regarding the DeLorean automobile, company, or man".
(slightly revised)
Since I've become an D owner/driver, when I go back to drive my other cars I
often put the sun visors down on a regular basis. I never used the visors before.
Do you think subconsciously I am trying to make up for too much windshield in my
other cars? :-)
I also find myself scanning my other cars for fingerprints. If you've seen my
Festiva (the killer bee) you'd know that finger prints are the least of my
worries.
How does owning/driving a DeLorean influence habits/actions and routines in other
areas of your life?
Not only for owners/drivers but riders too! I caught my wife saying while
shopping for clothes one time . . . "ohh this will match the DeLorean, what do
you think honey?"

But, I experienced the sound your speaking of (non-parcel related).
Check that both the Sway bar brackets are not broken. Have you
installed the recall brackets up there? Are bushing still seated
nicely.
It could be the sound of the bar banging against the frame as you
stop braking. (does it happen just when you let of the brakes)
A 'BOING' I found up front was a tie wrap I had used on something up
there and hitting the spring and going PING (sounded like a bell).
Hope it helps!

Subject: Re: Idle speed sensor
You should not have had to modify the circuit to force the idle up 200
rpm. A properly functioning idle circuit will hold the idle at the
correct idle rpm with varying loads like the A/C and the alternator.
The main reason the thermistor raises the idle is to make the car warm
up faster, the idle circuit can keep the cold engine running even at
the lower speed but for the EPA there is a maximum warm-up cycle time.

I learned on a skid-course that if you se the needle of the
speedometer drop to zero at once you're locked up and should
release a TINY bit of pedal pressure.
My first thought was "like I have time to look at the speedo",
but you dont have to look at it; when practicing I noticed that
your perifiral vision is sufficient to see the needle shoot back.
Just have to remember that on a D thye speedo is on the front wheel,
while on most modern cars it's driven by the gearbox or final drive,
thus telling you your DRIVE-wheels are locked up...

Why would you take the time to search different places for such a cheap
part? You can get it for $18.50 at PJ Grady, and you know it's the right
part. You know you're not going to overheat your engine with the part being
correct. Is it worth taking tons of time out of your schedule to "possibly"
save a few dollars? I understand looking for items that are a lot more
costly at your local store, but really... Remember, if you don't buy your
parts from a DeLorean vendor, they may not be around when you need a
DeLorean specific part.
The part number is 102709G and they'll ship it right to your door. You may
not know this but, not all thermostats are created equal. There are cheaper,
less reliable thermostats out there. Saving a few dollars could cost you
thousands in this case if your engine overheats. The thermostat from PJ
Grady is the best I've ever used. It's been working flawlessly for me for
years.

Subject: Re: Thumping suspension
Aaron - The first place that I would look would be the rubber bushings
that connect the front sway bar to the front lower control arms. The
bushings are known to deteriorate, which lets the sway bar thump and
rattle against the lower control arms. The stock rubber bushings are
relatively cheap (under $5 each) so they are not too painful to
replace. The major symptoms that I found when my bushings failed were
lack of control during heavy braking ... the car twitched
side-to-side, and also a "twitchy feeling" at highway speeds, caused
by caster variations in the front wheels. These bushings hold the
lower control arms (LCA's) in position (forward and aft), and when
they allow movement, the caster is contantly varying. You can access
the rearmost bushings by removing the nuts that thread onto the ends
of the sway bar where it pokes through the LCA's. The forward pair of
bushings can be viewed after you remove the front sway bar. Check
those out, and let us know what you find.

Ok, since nobody helped me out, I went and got a carfax account. So for
the next 30 days, if anyone wants a report, let me know. Off list, of
course.

Subject: Re: Reupholster Steering wheel and Binnacle
I also wondered about reupholstery of my steering wheel. I was a show in
Dallas couple of years ago and found company that does just that.
American Stitches--www.american-stitches.com, 1 972-613-2914. They are
located in Mesquite, texas. Good luck

> Sure you can reupholster both! I know of quite a few people that have
simply covered their binnacles in leather, instead of buying new ones. It
looks great! Most any auto upholstery shop can recover your steering wheel
as well. I've even seen where people have recovered their steering wheels in
grey to match their interiors too :-) . There was a company that people were
sending their steering wheels off to a few years ago... but the name evades
me. But I'd be willing to bet you can find someone in your area who can take
care of both of these.

Subject: Removing A/C Evaporator Core
Shop manual is not clear on the removal procedure for the evaporator core--any hints are welcomed.
I removed the bolts holding the casing for the evaporator core and I am trying to remove the evaporator casing from the heater casing, but it appears that the entire unit (heater and air conditioning plastic casing house) must be removed as a unit from under the dash. Is this correct?
Temperature in Scottsdale is reaching 100 degrees F and climbing.
