Re: Control Pressure Regulator Question

["Robert Rooney" <dmcvegas@xxxx>]

The BOSCH book that I was looking thru was the 4th edition. The book 
DOES show the components used in the DeLorean, but not all in the 
same illustration. The picture of the K-Jetronic setup is the same as 
the DeLorean, but it does have some variations. In the DeLorean (PRV-
6) air flow travels in the opposite direction that the diagram shows. 
Therefore the pivot on the air flow sensor plate would be BEHIND the 
plunger. For the other DeLorean specific variations, look up the 
items as follows in thier respective categories/item description:

Control Pressure Regulator:
Fuel Regulation(and the K-Jetronic section)/Warm Up Regulator.

Idle Speed Regulator:
Idle Control/2 wire magnetic control slide valve.

LAMBDA ECU:
Emissions Control/Single probe LAMBDA Unit.

These were the only differances that I noticed right off hand. The 
first 2 above you would replace in the K-Jetronic diagram, and the 
LAMDA you would have to add in, just like DMC & Lotus had to do when 
the adapted the engine to the DMC-12 (once you read the LAMBDA 
section specified above you'll understand!). The book does in fact 
explain how the entire DeLorean Emissions/Fuel systems work, you just 
have to put the missing pieces of the puzzle into place to replace 
the variables. An intersting side note: this same book also gives an 
explanation of how the torsion bars work, as well as the geometry I 
believe.
