Re: DeLorean stalling when in gear: more symptoms

["Toby Peterson" <tobyp@xxxx>]

Joe - This is kind of a "shot in the dark", but there is a large 
wire bundle that passes very close to the left front tire. This 
bundle has many important wires in it, including the fuel pump power 
feed. We have had a couple of incidents in the PNDC where the wire 
bundle came loose from it's clamps, and rubbed against the tire. 
After some period of time, the tire wore through the insulation of 
several of the individual wires, and caused some periodic shorts 
when the tires rotated or were turned by the steering wheel. With 
the car up on a lift, the tire will drop away from the wheel well, 
creating extra clearance with the wire bundle. I don't know if this 
is your problem, but it's worth a quick look.
