Hello,
Im looking to have my Bosch fuel distributor rebuilt. I have found various Delorean parts dealers who rebuild them. I wanted to see if there were any members on here who do it on the side. The plunger is seized up.
Im also looking to have my warm up regulator checked and/or rebuilt. Im not sure if there are any issues with it but i figured with the fuel pump and distributor needing refreshed, i figured that will need it as well.
Looking to do the same thing......
I am not a tech guru on fuel systems, but check out dmc's website here. It says to be very careful when having it rebuilt, it "appears to be able to be rebuilt" as per the website

According to the Workshop Manual the unit parts of the fuel system are not rebuildable. That said, there are things you can do to make them serviceable again. If the plunger is stuck, soak the fuel distributor in Acetone and very carefully work the plunger loose. Take extreme care to not nick or scratch the finely machined surfaces. The plunger should slide and fall out of the fuel distributor by it's own weight. The fuel injectors should be sent out and cleaned, tested and replaced if necessary. The Control Pressure Regulator, aka warm-up regulator, should be OK. I would run the motor and see how it works. If it doesn't work right it can be rebuilt and recalibrated. SpecialT does it or any of the other vendors can get it done for you.
here you go.

The FD can be "rebuilt" OR "refreshed". The kits to do ether can usually be found HERE. (Contact them and give them the number on the ID plate.)Quote:

Unless you are concerned about originality, the new style pump is the way to go, imho.
I agree that the WUR/CPR is probably OK.
Thank you the responses. The plunger is jammed beyond my abilities and familiarity with these fuek distributors. Ill be sending it out for sure
