been busy with the car and else were
Ok so a lot has been done since last posting.
The car starting issue seems to have worked it self out. Perhaps the lines were still holding some air? I tested the CSV, I put it in a bottle and fired the engine. It sprays like it should. The car starts especially quickly if I put the key in the on position wait a few seconds for the pump to prime and them fire it up.
That being said, it still take a few seconds and a few revs to get her to fully come to life, she kind of puts and stutter for the first few seconds on a cold start. I think I may have a vacuum leak somewhere and I'm not really sure how to find it or confirm it. I've also had one experience where I was sitting at a red light and she started to putter out, she didn't fully die as I started to give her a rev when I noticed it was starting to die. Then on acceleration she got a little jerky, not constant power. Then that went away, the jerky acceleration has presented itself a few times, but goes away. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.
Since I'm kinda stuck on the engine work, I decided to install my Delorean go ball stud/door strut reinforcement plates. These were pretty easy to do, and I had to install my new rear headliner any way. So it was the perfect time to do it. These are great and I'm sure all our cars will eventually need this, just the fact of how much pressure has been on these parts for almost 40 years, and stress and fatigue of materials is unavoidable. They are bullet proof now and peace of mind is a good thing. They took a single afternoon to install. (also replaced my rear speakers at the same time. Heat gun method to retain the vinyl, no cutting)
I also soldered in the new ribbon connector into my craig radio, wired in the aux port, and replaced the tape deck belt, and rebuilt my AC mode switch (even tho I don't yet have AC in my car, I did this since I had the radio out anyway.
after all this I decided to install my new inner door seal on the passenger side. This has been a bit of problem. The new door seal has not gone smoothly.
I did all the recommended steps. Used the rubber mallet to make sure the seal is fully seated. I applied lots of silicon lube, left it for a week shut. Then when that didn't really do much, I read that there was something called gummy Pflege, I cleaned all the silicone off, and used the Pflede. It helped some, but I have to SLAM the door, its getting easier but my wife still cant close the door from inside the car, and its really shouldn't have to be slammed like this. Any advice here? Much appreciated.
My plans to have DMCFL redo the exhaust are still in effect, I really would like to have the possible vacuum leak sorted before I do if possible, and this door thing is kinda bumming me out too.
Anyway, thats where I'm currently at.
Thanks in advance with any advice or theories!
