Hey All:
My younger brother was coming back from Tulsa, Oklahoma on Sunday night and said
he saw a Ryder truck (or the like) hauling a DeLorean behind it on the highway
near Springfield, Missouri. Just curious if it was anybody on this list, or if
anyone knew who it was?

David-
Glad to see you on the horn! Do you have any ideas on how I can get my car
to pass emissions in Ariz.? I have done a complete 50,000 mile tune up, i.e.
I have changed the plugs, wires, dist. cap, rotor, timed the car, installed
new O rings (while doing all of the above), put in new fuel injectors, adjusted
the CO to read 0.1 as in originial factory settings, and still flunk
the new emissions test. If the CO and CO2 are good the particles are not, etc.
Any ideas? Of course our new testing proceedures are about the same as
Calif. except perhaps that it is done by a State Agency and under load. It
is a drive test wheras the driver uses different speeds and follows a computer
pattern as if he were driving up and down a mountain. Stan

I had my front fascia repaired and repainted by a foreign custim specialty shop; however,
most, if not all, new car front fascias are flexible material and any good paint shop

Stan,
What are the HC and O2 readings comng out of the tailpipe? What emissions readings
is the car failing on? What are the limits? Are they testing for
NOx emissions? Are they running your car on a chassis dyno, where they are
taking readings out the tailpipe while the rear wheels are driving a large drum?
I'll help you in any way I can. Quick background: I manage a independent repair
shop in Rohnert Park, CA north of San Fransico. I do not
own a Delorean, but would like to. I am a ASE certfiied Master Automobile Technician,

Scott,
I have to second everything Mike Substelny has said about your problems. A
lack of oil in your transmission case would most likely cause a more significant
and sudden problem than the ones you mentioned, such as welding
itself together, much like an oil-less engine crankcase. A suggestion would
be to look at your clutch slave cylinder (If I remember correctly it's located
above the transmission) and lift the seal up to see if that is where
the leak is coming from. I know mine is faulty and needs to be replaced and
it's just a matter of money before I do it. When I lifted up the seal, a
significant amount of clutch fluid fell out, showing that the small leak had
been pooling there for a while.

David-
Thanks for the reply. What I have done is take the one time exception in order
to get my licence tags for the next two years! However, I still don't
know what else to do to pass emissions!
Without having set my CO with a metered machine, I had been turning the CO either
leaner or richer, trying to hit the correct mark. What was happening
was the HC was 2.87- the CO was 15.3- Gms/Mile of Equiv. CO2 was 453.6 Gpm-
the NO grams/mile equiv. of NO was 5.1 Gpm. When I went back after failing test
and the man told me that I was too rich,
and I reset it to leaner, the results were HC= 2.32 CO= 65.6 Gpm CO2= 428.7 NO= 1.2
Of course the standards are as follows
HC= 2.00 gpm CO= 30.0 gpm CO2= 428.7 gpm NO = 3.0 gpm.
I have now used a meter to set my car at the factory setting of 0.1 on the CO,
which of course gives me lousy milage, but it is at the facory setting for above.
Help.

Just catching up on some old email and saw your "survey." My '81 DeLorean is now
my only car and I do attempt to drive it every day, although my girlfriend and
family will gladly testify that they have had to "haul" me around perhaps 10-20
times this past year because something was broken on the car and in the process
of being repaired. I believe the car is dependable if purchased and brought up
to specs before putting it on the road everyday. In my case, I was unable to do
this and am slowly doing the restoration as time and money allows.

While this statement is true for this particular owner, that does not mean that
EVERY one of the 2,700 odd parts are still available or whereabouts known.
According to Jerry Rine at KAPAC there are about 100 parts that they no longer
have available in original stock. A few of these parts are available as
cross-reference, while others have been remanufactured on orders of DMC specialists
like D1, DMC-Houston and PJ Grady. A few unobtainable parts such as the fuel-line
couplings and angle drive are unavailable except as reconditioned parts.
I know for a fact that KAPAC does not have a full set of any of the carpet
patterns used in the DeLorean, nor do they have an ample supply of fiberglass
sections, although they do have the original tubs so that it may be possible to
create more some day if demand necessitates.

Subject: Cheap DeLorean
Hi All,
This may sound like a strange request, but I am after a DeLorean in ANY condition
whatsoever as long as the body is straight. Due to the import and
RHD conversion issues discussed here previously, I've all but given up hope
of properly owning one of these cars (at least until i win the lottery), but surely
there's a car out there that is beyond "proper" restoration.
I have thought about building a lookalike, and I am confident it would be within my
expertise (I have built 2 cars from scratch before) but the main problem would be
the SS panels. The closest material I have any experience working with is Aluminium,
which would look ok, but not quite "right". So if there's a car out there that's
beyond help and I can use as a basis for this project of mine, I'd love to hear
about it.
Thanks...

he pulled out a list that showed all VIN #s produced and the key codes for each

Subject: Starting problems...
I am having some trouble with the Delorean starting when it cools off.. It is
hard to explain the problem, but I will try: 1. The car starts fine after it
sets for a long time(day). 2. The trouble comes when the car has been running
for a little while and you kill it. It will start right back, but after a few
minutes it will just spin over. We checked the fuel pump and it is pumping-ie
the pump is on and the line pressures up(I was told it could be the check valve
on the pump).
3. If I put jumpercables on the car, it usuallly starts in the situation above.
4. The relays have been upgraded to the Bosche ones. 5. Finally, If you keep
turning the key on and off it will begain to try to start.
We are leaning on the side of the problem being electrical(ie coil, dist). If
anyone can be of help on this problem I would appreciate it. It sucks when the
car starts fine in the garage, but after you come out of a store of fill up
with gas it wont start...
I hope I have explained the problem well enough for some advice..

Subject: Re: Starting problems...
Jason,
It sounds to me like it probably is the check valve. This is not part of the fuel
pump. It's function is to keep the pressure up in the fuel system at the engine.
If the pressure drops while the engine is at normal operating temp. the fuel boils
creating a vapor lock. Pressure raises the temp. at which the fuel will boil.
The other possibilities, from personal experience, are loose plugs at the
"computer" boxes behind the drivers seat. There is the same cover as behind the
passenger seat. Remove it and check all the plugs.
Going back, on the DeLorean the check valve appears to be called a "fuel accumulator".

The U.S. spec engine was 130 hp. I've seen European road tests that claimed
150 horse power. I'd guess the difference lies with fuel system and ignition
timing changes that aren't encumbered with meeting the stringent U.S. emission
requirements. I'd bet the internal parts of both engines are the same. You could
more than likely achieve the Euro specs with out swapping engines.

The check valve is at the fuel pump. Early cars had the valve built into the
pump while later cars and replacement pumps have the valve mounted externally.
The check valve is just a one way valve to keep the fuel from returning to the
pump when the system is pressurized. The accumulator is located in the fuel line
about midway between the pump and the engine. It has a spring loaded diaphragm
inside which is compressed when the pump is running and when the pump is off
the spring pushes against the diaphragm thus keeping enough pressure in the
fuel system to open the injectors when the engine is started. The fuel pump
only runs a few seconds during cranking
unless the engine starts. This is to prevent flooding. If lack of fuel pressure
is the problem, cranking beyond the first 5 or 6 seconds is not doing anything.
Instead, crank for about 5 seconds, turn off the key, then crank for another 5
seconds. Eventually enough fuel pressure should build to
get the engine started. If the car doesn't start hot the problem probably lies
with fuel pump check valve. The accumulator could also be the culprit but I
understand the check valve is the more common cause. Starting problems
when cold are most likely caused by a bad thermo time switch which fires the
cold start valve to enrich the dose of fuel for cold starts.

Subject: Emissions readings in general and oxygen sensors (DMC)
Stan,
I'm a little confused with your readings of emissions. Normally, CO is read
as a percentage, i.e. 1.5% to 5.0%. For a car with fuel injection and a catalytic
converter this reading should be between 0.1% and 1%. CO2 is read
also as a percentage. This reading should ideally be approximately 12% to 14%.
Hydrocarbons are read as PPM(part per million) and should be belown 150ppm. Then
there is O2(oxygen) which ideally should be below 1.5%. I am
in the process on getting a graph together to show the relationship of the
emissions and how an adjustment of the CO reading(air/fuel mixture ratio) affects
the other readings. Typically as the CO reading goes up the HC readings go up,
the O2 reading goes down, and the CO2 reading goes down. If
I have interpretted your readings correctly, the engine was running to rich
initially. It is now reading better. A quick question, has the oxygen sensor
been replaced? Oxygen sensors are critical to the proper operation of
a fuel injection system. This sensor is located in the exhaust pipes or manifolds
fairly close to the exhaust manifold on one side. It measures the
amount of oxygen let over from the combustion process and converts this reading
to a voltage signal that is sent to the computer for the fuel injection system.
The reading is suppose to be between 0.1 volts and 0.9 volts and it should be
moving above and below the .45 voltage reading quickly. The sensors typically
need to be replaced every 60,000 to 90,000 miles based on normal wear and tear.
The sensors can be damaged by some silicone rtv sealant used to adhere gaskets to
metal or replace gaskets all
together. The sensors can also be damaged by the coolant going through the
exhaust system, i.e. a leaking head gasket or cracked cylinder head. Don't
try to measure the voltage reading without the proper equipment and training.
Often the sensors are damaged from people trying to reading the voltage incorrectly.
Quick note about accumulators and fuel pumps. With a fuel pressure gauge connected
up to the fuel system, the fuel pressure should remain abouve 25psi for at least
10 minutes. If not then the accumulator could be bad, or there could be a bad fuel
pressure regulator.

I have read somewhere that just before DMC closed down, some DMC 12's were
produced for the european market. By what I gathered these cars had something
like 150-155 bhp and this was apparently due to the absence of the
catalic converter, not required in europe until early 90's. I wouldn't be
surprized if this power can be achieved by simply 'popping off' the converter
from a US spec 130 bhp car and doing all adjustments accordingly.

DAVID-
I will give you what I got!
11/09/93
speed 0 to 60
grams/mile eq. of HC (stand-2.00 gpm score-2.87 gpm) grams/mile equivalent of
CO (standard-30.0 gpm - Score- 15.3 gpm) grams/mile equiv. of CO2 (standard -
N?A score- 453.6 gpm) grams/mile equiv. of NOx (standard- 3.0 gpm score- 5.1
gmp) liters of purge (standard 1.0 liters Score -0.0 liters) test not performed
11/25/97
HC- 2.57 fail
CO- 66.7 fail
Oxides NOx- 1.2 pass
11/23/96
HC - 2.32
CO- 65.6
CO2- 428.7
NOx- 1.2
On the last reading set, I had set my CO mistakenly at 0.1 instead of 1.0 as
the factory setting is recommended. This setting was responsible for the 3rd
reading shown above. Of course it was off severely. I then had to have my
car licenced so I took a waiver. I then after realizing what I had done as
to the settings reset the CO to 1.0 with the meter. This of course, was shutting
the door after the horse ran out. Yes I did change the oxigen sensor (lamda
control) in the exhaust. Would love to try again, but they charge 24.00 or more
each time you test! Stan
