Here is what happens when you over tighten the banjo / hollow bolts that connect fuel lines to the distributor

After breaking them I figured this is not an item that is specific to a...

I have seen this car up close in person. I live in Texas and my parents own a car and truck transport business. The normally deliver trucks for the oil industry. Anyway one of their costumers has...

Thanks David. I will keep that in mind. I have only been on this site for a week or 2 now any you have already helped me out quite a bit. Thanks again!

I don't know what I did but the car is running right! I started it up and revved it a little and when I let off I noticed it didn't seem to be so shaky so I put it in gear and gave it some gas and it...

If I did flood it, what will happen if I try to start the car without getting the fuel out of the cylinder? Will the fuel dissipate over night?

Another thing I just though about. After I cleaned the gas tank I added 5 gallons of gas and about half a bottle of HEET water remover just in case I missed any moisture in the tank. After that I was...

Yeah I guess your right on that one. I don't smell un-combusted fuel and I'm not getting any backfire.

Yes it seemed that they were all getting the same amount of fuel but I tested them one at a...

I did them one at a time. I am going to try again tomorrow and I will do it with all 6 out at the same time.

I just checked the injectors well 5 of them at least. The last one looks like a bitch to get to. I will check it in the morning. Anyway, the 5 I checked were good. Again I'm not ruling out the...

Thats pretty much what I was thinking. Yes the fuel in the tank was in there for a few years and yeas it was very bad. However, before I started the car after it sat for a few years I did a full tank...

Ok so my D has been sitting for a few years and of course it wouldn't start. I cleaned out the gas tank and replaced fuel filter screen in tank. It still wouldn't start. I ended up needed a new rpm...

Yeah I wouldn't have know to do all of that except I read the manual first. So I did go through the correct process. I would not have if I didn't check the manual first. Thanks for the tip.

Good call the trans fluid was very very low. Thanks

Yes I agree I think it is an unrelated problem. the car does not shut off anymore and the battery seems to be getting the proper voltage now. I will check the trans fluid. can you give me the link...

Well I may have fixed that or I may not have but at least the light comes on now. If I did fix it than I have another problem. the car is still idling very shaky and when i first start it up i can...

Well I ordered LEDs but I went ahead and put a new 161 incandescent bulb in for the charging circuit and put it all back together. I just left the bolts out so I can take it out easier when the LEDs...

I'm looking at your blog to see what LEDs to use. I am reading where you say "Below are the model numbers, colors, and quantity required" It looks like you had 1 amber, 5 warm white, 5 red, 3 green,...

Well I wanted to disagree with you and I went against my better judgment and did not have the battery tested before I removed the binnacle. I checked the battery light bulb and it seems to not be...

I'm not the biggest guy I know but I'm not small. I had a hard time just looking up under there. I don't think I could fit my hands/ arms with tools and everything. Honestly I think it would...

I HAVE TO REMOVE THE SEAT TO CHANGE A LIGHT BULB!?! I shouldn't be surprised being that I have owned a Delorean for 11 years. LOL. You know what I mean.

Anyway this looks good. I'm going to try...

Okay so I tried to pull the instrument panel but it was difficult to see what is going on under there. I could see some small nuts that look like they could be what I need to remove to take the panel...

As I said before, the battery is good and was charged to 100% when I started. Also I had the alternator tested and it is good.

So now I'm hoping it is that bulb. I am going to attempt to pull...

The battery light did not come on. Not with the just the key on or with the car running. I tried they key in all positions and no battery light. So are you saying that it could possible that the...

I didn't figure the brake light had anything to do with the alternator. I just thought I would mention it. The car has never been rebuilt or restored. I have had it for 11 years. I got it when I was...

Ok so I just cleaned the connections on the alternator and the wires that connect to it and then put it all back together. With the battery having a full charge I started the car. It started and...
