[DML] Re: engine heater

[Carrie Huggins <clh168@xxxx>]

First adjust your idle speed screw under the engine compartment so your
idle runs at about 1200 rpm. Second, deloreans are not designed for very
cold weather, using the vents not the heater adjustment on your console
provides for maximum heat dispersion. Also according to your low VIN # you
may have an older heater fan (squirrel cage). You can find one at the
Delorean One company for about $100. Contact them at 800-DMC-HELP.
