SUPER HOT Engine .. Need Some more help please!



Hey All.

My woes continue here in Toronto .. I am finally able to get the car
running with no problem .. But she idles at 2000 and is HOT

I have tried many things :

-Adjusting the richness .. Enriching and Leaning the mixture .. Does not
help ..
-Adjusting the timing . 13 degrees before TDC on the pulley on the first
marking 105 degrees , and then the rotor on the distributor rests at the
notch after its stabbed in
-an altogether alternate mixture control unit and throttle body from
another DeLorean


I have learned . that when I run the car and disconnect the Oxygen
sensor .. it will idle around 1500 rpm 

I hooked it up to a dyno.. and the readings from the exhaust when its
enriched are at 16.30 dilution, then at 12.90 when leaned out

But in both cases the engine is HOT . we measured the temp in both cases
and in both cases the cat ranges from 500 - 800 degress faherhiet

When I reconnect the O2 sensor .. it idles high again and will run at
700 degrees 

Could it possibly be a computer problem?

Is there something else I can try?

I am going nuts here .. all your help is GREATLY appreciated as always

You can reply to me directly at ken@xxxx

Thanks again
Kenneth
