Subject: Re: underground deloreans?
Hope it works for him. I had a similar vision. I was married with three
boys. When they were young I got bit by the DeLorean bug. Sold my Lotus
and got my first DeLorean. I decided there was something really special
about it, not only because of the details around it's creation but also
the
BTTF phenomenon. So....Sixteen years ago I bought four more. One for
each
member of my family (five total). Thought we could do our own "Convoy"
(remember that craze?) I am now divorced and none of my sons give a hoot
about cars. The two oldest ones even waited until their twenties to get
drivers licenses. The virtual world of computers turned their clocks so
they put themselves into the cave so they could see their screens better.
Weird how plans turn out. At least they are all worth almost exactly what
I
paid for them and I don't need a shovel.

Satelite. He said he was saving the cars for his son's 16th birthday, who
at the
time was 3.

Subject: Re: HIGH IDLE
2000rpm is more than can be adjusted for but tweaking the throttle
plates, or seating the brass screws all the way down. My guess would be
the idlespeed thermistor under the intake manifold has become unplugged
- this makes the idlespeed computer think the engine is continually
stone cold. This can be tested from the idlespeed computer, but I don't
have my Renault manual handy to look up the pin-outs
Pretty certain it ain't a clogged injector, unless your mechanic has
deliberately set the idle that high because it stalls any lower.

Subject: GTO Car show today in MA
Hello All,
I'll be taking my Delorean to the GTO Day Lawn Event at the Museum of
Transportation in Brookline MA today - it runs from 9AM to 4PM. If
anyone is in the area and wants to stop by and/or bring their Delorean, I
know the GTO crowd will appreciate it. Here's some info on the Museum of
Transportation : http://www.mot.org. (I think there may be a $15 fee to
enter a car into the show, or $5 or so just to be a spectator). And
here's the website of the local GTO club sponsoring the show:

Where on the car can you find the key code for an 83 single key
system...can
you cut it from the VIN No.?

Subject: [DML] Cutting keys from codes (and more on keys/locks)
If you have, or are able to get, the key code for your car's doors or
ignition, we have the ability to cut a key for your car from that code. We
also have reproduction molded head key blanks for $12.95 each. Code
cutting
is $15 on top of that, if desired.

Subject: Re: HIGH IDLE
Fuel lines generally do not "clog". Even with a completely bad
accumulator it won't keep the engine from starting when cold. I
suspect he is not familiar with Bosch K Jetronic. You should probably
find a more knowledgable mechanic if you can in your area. We on this
list can help if you want to try to fix it yourself.

Subject: Intertia Switch Bypass?
My car has a strange problem where every so often, it does not want to
start.
After one evening in particular, I diagnosed the problem (or so it
appeard) as the wire harness/connector to the intertia switch. I
managed to jam the wire harness into a position to keep the connection
running perfect, and have had no issues since.
NOW...my car will not start today. I tried to jugle the wire around, but
no avail.
It appears that the wires are pulled slightly from the adapter that
plugs into the switch. I want to test that this theory is correct and
hte root of my problems, but I need to know one thing:
How can I bypass/hotwire the Intertia switch wires?

Subject: temp gauge not working
The temp gauge stays at the rest position. All other gauges work. I
have check the sending unit for a 12 volt ref. key on and found no
voltage at either terminal.(the sending unit is the one on the side
of the water pump driver side right? two wire connector.) The shop
manual offer no help and was wondering if there is any other thing I
should check before having to remove the inst. cluster.(inline
connector,common failures,ect...)
