The lambda light comes on every 30,000 miles to incite you to get the
lambda circuit serviced. You should replace the oxygen sensor, which is
not expensive. The easiest solution is to contact one of the DeLorean
parts suppliers. You can find a list of suppliers on the DMC News
website:

and on the DOA website:

BELOW the clutch pedal, you say?

Sounds like an aftermarket addition, maybe a cruise control. It might
also be the windshield wiper control, inertia switch, or some other
module that fell out of its place under the dashboard.

I suggest you get your hands on the factory parts manual, which is
available as a free download from the DMC News page:

The manual has good pictures that can help you identify parts like this.
It also gives reference numbers that are very handy for communicating
with DeLorean parts vendors.
