RE: [DML] Did tune-up, car still runs like crap

Andy, There is a lot of things that can make it run bad during warm up as
you know. But after it warms up trying adjusting the 02 setting and see how
it does. Even though the Lambda system is running on manual, the control
plunger in the distributor may not be rising high enough and starving the
injectors.
Re check the placement of the wires and the timing. One wire may not be
plugged in all the way.

Subject: [DML] Did tune-up, car still runs like crap


Yesterday I did a full tune-up, I used stock delorean components
except for the plugs which are platinum +4. I cleaned many parts with
carb cleaner, replaced some old vacuum hoses, replaced ALL gaskets
and O-rings that have to do with the intake manifold, did valve
adjustments for all valves and cleaned the fuel injectors.

Car fired right up, but still idled poorly, it smoothed out some as
it warmed up. I took it for a quick 12 mile spin on the highway. The
car seemed to have a little trouble going up hill, I had to give it
more gas than usual to keep the speed up.
