Jack,
The fuel distributor is rebuildable but only by authorized Bosch repair centers. You can get rebuilt distributors from DMC Houston, PJ Grady etc or from a foreign car parts center or a Bosch distributor. They all ask for your core. Unfortunately, when you took yours apart, you lost the ability to use it as a core. They will not accept it.

All the previous would work to clean.
Silicone is considered good to help keep from reoccurring.

Check with our DeLorean friends in Canada eh! Canadians use engine block heaters on a regular basis during the winter.

Nick (and others) -
Evidently you have not noticed that a new price list was posted on 8/20/99. It reflects the correct pricing for this part of $109.00, just as the online store does.
There are no more original items of this part in existence, and a reproduction is what is sold now.

MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
At the time I was considering doing this, I worked in commercial printing and having previously done the DeLorean poster project, I felt this was something that could also be economically feasible. The original printing films still exist, and are in good condition.
Total costs for for reprinting, binding, shipping, rights and all the other things associated with doing something this size came to about $20,000. I had committments for more than half of this when interest died out.
Also, John Lamm was not really interested in doing a new "chapter" on the events of the last 15+ years - he felt that to do it right would take about 10-12 months of research and writing, which would also add significantly to the costs.
Neither Lamm nor the former owner of Newport Press were too excited about it at the time, they still had some bad tasts in their mouth from the original printing - like many things related to the demise of the original De Lorean Motor Company, it had the prospects of being far more profitable. JZD is also not very fond of the book as it was written, either.
I have maintained a dialog with John and Rich so as not to close the door on this, and would be interested in discussing it with others that are interested VIA PRIVATE EMAIL.

I've heard of "Dusty" and I read the article about the RHD Deloreans. I was wondering if anybody knew of a site out there where I could see pictures of "Dusty" before and after the restoration,,,it went thru a restoration right? I would $h!t a kitten if i went into my back barn and found a VERY rare Delorean.

Take it from someone who knows - the best block heaters replace a freeze plug in the block. Check a Volvo dealer for the correct part and pricing information. They shouldn't run much more than $50 installed.
You really shouldn't need one for temperatures that mild.

It (Engine cut-off under hard braking) may be fuel starvation. If the pickup is flexing during braking there may be a loss of fuel flow. The pickup is supposed to be attached to a stud in the bottom of the tank to prevent movement. Other fuel flow options would include a small break in the hose that opens up when flexed under said braking conditions.
Good luck,
NK

J, I had the same problem. What happened was the rods got out of sinc. I had to pull the top of the door panel off and mess with the rods again. What seemed to do the trick was disengaging the lock rods while lifting up on the door handle. It seems the door latch got closed and the lock engaged while the door was opened so when it was closed it jammed everything shut. Hope this helps. -SweatyEddy VIN6564

Jack,
Unfortunately you have no options, once the distributor is taken apart it will no longer work properly. Your only option is to purchase a replacement.

Jonathan,
If both parking brake calipers are adjusted properly the parking break handle should only rise a few inches. If moves more than 45 degrees your parking brake calipers are out of adjustment. Missing parking brake pads and miss aligned handle to caliper cables will also cause this problem.

You are in luck if you act fast. Go to ebay.com under delorean you will find a fuel distributer going for about $150. I would buy your old one for $10.

Just a thought - for those interested...
How about making a DeLorean Driver's Gallery on the www.dmcnews.com page?
Those who are interested could scan a photo of themselves (and include their DeLorean) to be displayed on the dmcnews-page. This way we could get even more familiar. I'll say its nice to know the face of those people you are communicating with via this list.
Any comments? Moderators?

Subject: [DML] POLL: Are the factory Right-hand drives real or fake
Well i belive that david knudson is very correct about the right
hand drive on the doc uk web site, because the delorean left hand drive was
basically tampered with to try and make it right hand drive being it was a
l/h/d pontoon , footwells being different. I suppose the r/h/d deloreans
what were made for the personnel at the dmc co, they were proto's as if you
look at the lotus esprit which was both factory gaureented r/hand& l/hand
traditional cars.
Not like the proto right hand drive deloreans now, not to say if the company
had kept going you may of had a real one.

Yep that could be it alright. there is a fix that re orients the switch to prevent
the exact problem you have.
I was once stranded hundreds of miles from home on a week end, had to get towed home only to discover that I could have jumped the dam switch.....We thats what being a new owner is all about I guess.
I can send you the information in the event you want to do the fix your self.

Howdy .. as a Canadian ... and owner of a Canadian model 'D' (17106) when they made the model for the Great White North the factory (okay Kapac) installed a 'factory' block heater ... I value her too much to drive on the ice ... but I'll trace the plug to see where it was installed.....

I have had this problem on occasion, except it is not usually under hard braking. In one instance I was slowly rolling down a hill while braking intermittently.
At idle, the engine cannot take much of a load, and many engines have trouble when winding down. Combine throttle-lift with an extra load, and an out-of-tune engine could stumble. I really don't think it's anything like the inertia switch or fuel pickup, at least in my case, since I would expect these failure points to cause other symptoms.
It doesn't really bother me, since it is a rare occurrence on my 100k-mile engine that otherwise runs fine. Besides, I'm getting one of those DMC souped-up PRVs in the spring. :-)

I am just curious about something. In two (maybe three) instances that I have had to emergency brake my DeLorean, the engine has cut-off. I suspect it is because the booster is requiring more than the engine can provide at idle and it cannot compensate. Has anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions on how to stop it from occurring?

For several years I have marketed a replacement plastic slide to hold the engine cover up that had 4 mounting holes instead of the original two, because of the problem of the cover holes breaking out. They work slick and were quite reasonable. However, I am currently out of them, and the shop that makes them for me is so far behind I don't know when I will ever get more. If there is enough interest, I may seek out another manufacturer.
On my own car, as part of cleaning up the engine compartment, I eliminated the entire engine cover support mechanism. I fabricated a hook on the underside of the louver that catches the u-shaped latch pin when both covers are open, and because of the different angle of the louver and engine cover, they support each other with little or no weight on the gas struts. The added advantage is preventing ham-handed mechanics from trying to close the engine cover and breaking the stock support or cover.

I haven't seen as much bad press on the De Lorean, as I have in 1999. Hopefully 2000 will be better... Here's the article in full text, January's Car and Driver p. 60.
Loser: John "This Is as Good as Gold" De Lorean's car-manufacturing enterprise went stainless-steel belly up in 1982. After a mere 17 years of haggling, insults, back stabbing, $30 million in legal fees -and, well, those ugly drug charges of which Johnny D. was acquitted in '84 -a settlement has at last been reached. In 1999, a judge ordered that $28 million be paid to De Lorean's 260 creditors in hopes that none of them, including the 125 law firms that participated in the festivities, would ever again utter the "D" word.
The highlight of the De Lorean sports car's career, as everyone knows, was its appearance in a science-fiction movie starring a very small person named Fox.
