    Solid State RPM relay

    I have had a few returns caused by plugging the connector in backwards (upside down). This will cause permanent damage and the connector guides show what happened.

    Please look that the connector is oriented properly before plugging the unit in.

    Many more and I will have to stop offering these upgrades.

    The reference post at the bottom of the pdf. instructions no longer exists. (.com)

    A simple picture in the instructions would alleviate the problem.

    Just like the Diode pic in the ECU inst.

    solid state rpm relay

    I have had this solid state installed for about a year, no problems what so ever with it. In fact I have most of David's products installed and no problems with any of them.

    DM-eng Solid State Solutions work great when installed correctly.

    It is a good time to remind everyone about this solid state solution, to the critical RPM Relay component, in our cars.

    I believe that I have one of the oldest installs (January 2008 ) and have put thousands of miles on it, several of those on multi-hour highway trip, without any incidents.

    I wrote a review of it here, on my blog.

    A highly recommended upgrade for your DeLorean.

    My car came with spade connectors to the RPM relay. I decided to upgrade is with a proper plug.

    I have been running the solid state RPM relay in my daily driver DeLorean for four weeks and love the positive and immediate starts each and every morning. Each time I turn the key to ON I hear the fuel pump run for 1.5 seconds and when I turn off the engine the fuel pump runs for half a second.
    I chose to send in the $75 for the relay and $50 for the core charge which he returns when he gets your RPM relay in exchange. Or you can just send in your RPM relay with the $75 and he will send you one already manufactured.
    He includes a label on them now that says, “SOLID STATE RPM RELAY” just so you know it isn’t original

    In my opinion, Dave's RPM relay is a no brainer. If you're reading this and you don't have one, get one. Low price for peace of mind.

    EDIT - in case you're wondering, YES, my old RPM relay left me high and dry.
