    Might the switch turn off the heater circuit when the engine gets warm enough? FWIW, mine is grounded to the case as well.

    Seems that the circuit diagram attached above could use an update to...

    So much for the WUR & hunting theory. Today it hunts (~500 - ~1500RPM). Yesterday it was spot on. I wish I could read its mind.

    This is one thing I like about the forum and DeLorean community .... learning ideas I hadn't thought of. Thanks Dave

    And as I understand WUR operation, you have two unrelated issues:
    1) The electrical short
    2) Improper WUR operation (crappy running until the engine warms from combustion heat)

    I should have been more clear. The sharing chassis ground only applies if measuring with the plug installed ... A very unlikely scenario.

    I don't think it should be shorted to housing ground. But housing ground probably shares the ground with the circuit via chassis common ground. So one pin should read zero as measured to chassis...

    Update: Still delighted. It's days later and the improved performance of the initial drives appears to not be a fluke. I hope it continues.

    Drove the car today and it's a delight to drive. And...

    There is an easy test for the heater. Using a VOM, remove the plug and measure resistance across the connector pins. If zero (open circuit) then I believe it is bad (may simply be a broken wire.)...

    I tried it and it works for me. It is a file download and takes me to Save File screen.
