No, but he showed me the Workshop Manual page D:02:01 with the control pressure values, and then he started the cold engine. The meter showed very low pressure (I don`t want to say anything stupid,...
Hello, my WUR has recently been checked, the pressure is very low when cold, while it is OK when warm. A local mechanic says the pressure on the `cold side` of the WUR is not adjustable, therefore...
Hello, can someone confirm the inline fuse information is correct on this page: http://delorean.wikia.com/wiki/Fuses_and_Fuse_Box
5 Amp for the light green wire and only 1 Amp for the purple wire?...
Thanks Elvis, will send PM!
The battery is fine, the radio started dying while driving on the highway and I have driven a few hundred miles since it happened.
Hello, I have the following problem: my original Craig radio suddenly stopped working (while playing a casette), although it is not totally dead. When I turn it on, the small green arrow will light...
Thanks, I`ll replace the hose and the banjo as both seems to be ancient.
Did you have the same symptoms before you found the leak (unstable idling, much smoke)?
Has anyone had fuel leak on top of the fuel filter? Today, after starting the engine, I found fuel under the car. I checked the fuel filter area with a small camera when the engine was on, but all I...

I have got this new shift boot with steel bracket (first pic, on the right), and I am not sure I can simply cut the top of the leather boot so the stick can go through it? (I don`t want...
Phew, tank cleaning is done... That`s a real gynaecological work :)
Not much dirt, mostly small particles from the oxidized vent tube. So that I can reach the end of the tank, I have tied rags to a...
My original parts are in good condition, so maybe I`ll first try to put the stud back. I wouldn`t risk making a hole on the bottom of the tank, so I`ll look if there is a fuel resistant glue.
By...
Hello Delorean owners, what would you do if that molded-in stud separated from the bottom of the tank? I do not really want to have it melted back to the original place, because knowing the local...
Thanks for all advices, at the end I decided to go with two 6V 7.5Ah batteries in the glove box, I also added a car battery protector that switches off the gadgets if the Voltage drops. Total cost...
Hello, I am thinking of connecting my small gadgets (Bttf speedometer, ThinkGeek flux capacitor, GPS, etc.) to a secondary battery, instead of using the main battery and the car`s cigar lighter...
My louvre is not broken but the black paint looks worn and unevenly faded. Also, in some smaller patches (2-3 mm diameter) the paint is missing and the white fiber glass (?) material is visible....
Just for the files: a friend of mine (who has more experience with cars, but he is not professional) managed to put the brass ring and the o-ring back without removing the mixture unit (or anything...
Is removing the mixture unit a difficult job? Any gaskets to be replaced after that? (Not sure if there is a how-to-do article somewhere). I can actually reach the place where the brass ring and...
Hello, can you confirm the copper ring and the o-ring can be found on the outer side of the mixture unit only? When checking the idle regulator recently, the pipe came out easily from the mixture...
Wow, a big thanks from the owner of VIN1052 :) Because my car was first sold in Iowa (to an Illinois wholesaler), I always thought it had entered the States somewhere on the East Coast. Now I know it...
Probably a stupid question: can I start the engine for 1 minute only if I am in the middle of changing a hose, so 2 water pipes are already disconnected and there is no coolant in the pipes that are...
Mike, thanks for the valueable inputs! I`ll remove the old, leaking hose once I`ll have the new one and will see how dirty/corroded the pipe is.
Now that I checked the material under the clamp, it...
1. How do you clean the pipes once the old hose is removed? I guess the surface of the pipe is not totally smooth any more: dried residues might have built up, it may even be somewhat corroded (?)...
Yes, I immediately contacted Ed, no answer yet.
