The original lighted key was only for the 2 key "early" locks. DMCH, *I think*, did do a repo lighted key for the 1 key system. The lighted key was for the door locks, the other key was an ignition...

Unless you are trying for "Concours Quality" no sense beating yourself up. No one but you will care, potential buyers would never see it. But it is one of the things that can differentiate a true...
There are a few systems that affect the idle and cold start. Not uncommon for something to not be working right, most mechanics do not understand how to properly service a PRV with K-Jet. Probably...
If you are lucky it is only a simple electrical problem. If not, the plastic "tail" that pushes and pulls the mast up and down gets old, brittle, and breaks. Tough to find replacements anymore,...
Consider also replacing the spare tire. It is OLD (if it is original and it most likely is!). Many reports of owner's having to use it and it blows in in just a few miles. Sometimes you see a lot of...
This last video was great showing how difficult it can be doing exhaust work. An acetylene torch is indispensable. If you must have this kind of work done, going to a shop that specializes in...
I never saw a silicone gasket used there. The original OEM one was some kind of composite materiel that becomes hard as a rock. A real PITA to clean up and remove! Good thing about them is they never...
Not only will you have to work on the fuel system, the brake and clutch systems are probably in need of a lot of work. Cooling system too. Get in touch with your favorite parts vendor and see what...
Nothing is supposed to get into the spark plug wells, there is a big rubber seal that is supposed to prevent water (and oil) from getting in there. If the seal is old or not seated properly, oil or...
The OEM fans draw a LOT of current,especially when they both start. You can actually feel it in the gas pedal. One reason some owners have replaced them with Spalls or some other more efficient fan....
Before doing all of the adjustments you should have a good rubber seal, adjust the torsion bar, and the door lock anchor pins. It also helps if you remove both latches and clean and relubricate them...
If you don't see +12 volts at the plug to one fan you need to check at the relay block where the Fan Fail Bypass is to make sure you are feeding power into both wires going to both fans. A connector...
The color of the pad denotes it's coarseness but there is no standard so different manufacturers use different colors. You want to use the least course pad you can to achieve the desired effect. Too...
Sounds like the fuel system is still not operating correctly. I would start with having the fuel injectors cleaned and tested and replace the seals. Then test the cold start system to see if the Cold...
Do you still use the orifice tube or do you change it to something else like the VOV? As for the compressor, it is basically the same as the R-12 one with a higher pressure relief valve and different...
Make sure all of the clips that hold the grills in place are all there and tight. Missing or loose ones can cause vibrations and rattles. Check the rear window to make sure it is still bonded to the...
Just what exactly is a "Proper" conversion? What is done besides changing the refrigerant and oil, and putting the adapters on the service valves? In my experience you lose about 10% cooling capacity...
I agree, it looks like someone screwed -134 adapters onto your -12 service valves. Try to stay with -12, nothing will cool as well as R-12 with the stock A/C system. On a lot of the cars I have...
If your car smells bad it could be an oil leak dripping onto the exhaust or maybe you are in open loop and/or running too rich. For it's time, the K-Jet fuel system in the Delorean had very low...

Do you hear the frequency valve buzzing? Is there power to the ECU?
A "full" tune-up also includes the O2 sensor, checking and if necessary adjusting the valves, and resetting the Lambda counter. It's also good to do a compression test and checking the A/F mixture...
If adjusting the mixture screw has no effect on the dwell meter reading the ECU is in "Open Loop" meaning it is not adjusting the mixture according to the O2 sensor. Could be the motor isn't warmed...
Another thing to note, do NOT use teflon tape on the TTS. It MUST be grounded to work and teflon tape can isolate the switch from ground. As I said in earlier posts, the most common reason for the...
Have an assistant hold the clutch pedal down while you see if you can find the source of the leak. Most likely the seal in the slave cylinder or a connection. If the master cylinder was leaking and...
