    I didn't see anything in this thread about ignition timing. Have you checked it?

    It's easy to get high RPM with too much idle advance. Like if the solenoid is bad, disconnected, maybe vac hoses...

    This was originally a DeLorean World article that I reformatted for a show I attended, a performance cross section of 1981 cars. During a big "omg youtube said its slow" comment era.

    Well... on my car anyway. YDMV.
    It's pretty flimsy, you may be able to just let it hang far enough to get a ratcheting box end wrench on the nuts.

    No, they don't. There is enough flex to remove the part without taking the sides off.

    Modern pumps can cavitate just like originals, seems like you're just less likely to hear it. I got one of the new pumps to cavitate with a few too many 90-degree fittings. Added tank insulation and...

    It gets in the way of literally nothing. Its easier to work around a QuickJack than a 2 post lift.

    If you're setting suspension height or adjusting alignment it's extremely useful to raise and...

    I have the 5000TL which reaches the jack plates just barely.
    It's been great, very handy for multiple projects. My only advice is to be conscious of how level your garage is and the direction of...

    -High load (high manifold pressure), terminal 11 grounded

    I use a leaf blower & silicone squeegee. Leaf blower is about the best way to get water out of the grille / taillights / side mirrors.

    FreeCAD is an option. I just used it (along with the sheet metal plugin) to design a custom radiator fan shroud.

    That's a Model Y, a bit bigger than a Fiesta/Fusion. The CT actually slightly smaller than an F150.

    I have a newer seal (probably 15 years or older by this part) and it does the same thing. Rubs against the roofbox, squeaks, and stalls the door opening.

    It would make more sense for this to be a...

    I too am running 6.5 degrees caster.

    Have you verified your USB supply voltage quality on a scope? Most of them are not well regulated.

    I've made a few interior parts in ABS but it can warp really bad on large pieces. An oven style printer with a fully heated chamber would make that better. A long thin part like the A pillar trim...

    Is prototype the right word? It's more of a coachbuilt demo.

    If you installed a stock K24 motor, as built / no turbo, you'd have about 200hp and 166 lb-ft available.

    Panel efficiencies are going up as costs are going down. We're in a similarly cloudy area and are on track for 10-12yr system payoff. You might be surprised.

    With any EFI ECU that is set up to prime the pump at key-on, you will hear the fuel pump. It's hard to miss, so I'd not dig in to the pump/hose side of things just yet.
