    Glad you enjoyed the visit. My parents have been numerous times but for those wanting to go all out I would suggest waiting. They booked the highest tier and were disappointed the staff was running...

    Or Dave if you ever come by this way you can take the car and it's yours. She will have a full tank, a few boxes with enough spares to build another car, carte blanche to order what you need. A week,...

    Yeah man!!!!!!

    There are the things that need to be done, those while you are there and those you run across.

    Hi... :)

    Just solved? a issue and haven't driven the car any distance in a while but YES. We can wait until these blistering temps come down but either way would be fine.

    Euroworx where my father takes his older Porsche told me straight up he or his mechanics don't have the time to read up on and learn as they go for ONE specific type. Nor could he guarantee the work...

    When I flew I had these cut to your pref tinted material that felt gummy that sticks onto glass. Both sides I cut to size and sticK on the inside. Also have a high rpm but fairly silent fan with a...
  10. [General] Things unique to the Delorean a "regular" mechanic needs to know.

    I have a growing list of things that I or another Delorean owner would that I am physically unable to do. The Porsche/import places want nothing to do with it and after watching a guy hammering on...

    Dam Elvis you sure get around.

    Keep a round chambered.... I might have another car that needs your attention!

    It's loud, runs hot, a bunch of gauges that you eventually stop staring at because they raise your blood pressure so you rely on vibration, sound and smell. Love it!!
    Pretty much the exact issues...

    Solved or at least found a issue which appears to have cleared up the hard starting, inability to accelerate without killing the engine.

    I was a heli/fixed wing pilot for the State of SC and still document everything I have ever done to the car even as trivial as cleaning. I dug back because I have a faint memory of that dam thing...

    People up N park during the brutal winters, I park during the brutal summers. My D has always hated summer and when all my issues pop up.
    Once that stainless heats up, no break from the sun and...
  16. [General] My advice on Delorean "bling". Also solved starting idle acceleration issues .

    Like they often do, out of the blue the D wouldn't start followed by the full routine, grounds, connectors, spark, gas....
    Nothing... Any press on the throttle or throttle assembly would kill it. I...

    I get so many robo calls I rarely answer but did get a dead 706 number 20 minutes ago.
    Started the car and can hold a rev at any level. It is just that first initial throttle so I have to feed it...

    Thanks Ron.... Not sure I am physically able to go bending over a engine. If you remember we tracked down a bad connection to the fuel pump. I took that time to rewire them right. The pump is one of...

    I can just as easily instantly kill the engine from pressing the accel pedal or the throttle spool. Fairly heavy footed especially from a stop and I would have noticed having to baby the throttle. I...
  21. [Engine] Engine dies if I "stab" the pedal or press the air plate.

    Hi all summer is here which means fuel issues.
    What would cause the engine to die from a quick stab to the gas pedal or quickly press down on the air plate?
    Like a woman if you slowly press either...

    If you cross the dam towards Irmo and take a left I am just up that road. I have a early Delorean with dark wheels and 1-2x a week will drive it across the dam and back. When the temps everyday hover...

    Update
    After a 3 hr chasing down wires and isolating power we got to the pump itself. From my extensive records it shows I replaced it 8 years ago and was one of John's later pumps. It has always...

    I saw in a recent post on my thread you are moving to SC. Once settled in I have enough "to dos" and wanna dos" to keep one busy for a while.
