    Dave McKeen RPM+Hot start relays

    Several weeks back, I drove to a resteraunt about an hour a way. Had a leasure lunch with my wife for maybe an hour and a half. It 93 degrees and full sun. When I came out, the first time ever the car wouldn't start. It took multiple times cranking for more than a minute each. I was afraid or melting the starter or killing the battery. Finally, it fired and ran like junk for 15 seconds and than all was well.

    I ordered Daves RPM relay along with his Hot start relay. (Plug and play)

    Yesterday, I went to the same restaurant with my wife under the exact same conditions. When I came out, the car started right up and ran rough for maybe 3 seconds before running great. His RPM relay has an additional feature called a hot fix. I don't have that enabled right now, but under the current circumstances I don't think I need it.

    My old RPM relay use to get real hot. I forgot to feel his after the trip, but I will up date this in the future. (It's supposed to run cooler)

    I don't know that Dave is really trying to make business of this. I think he just does it in his spare time. I highly recommend buying any of his products because he just might decide to stop. We are very lucky to have this man in our community.

    These plus the fan relays are amazing. Kudos to Dave!

    I agree. David makes incredible products for our cars that truly bring them up do date electrically and do improve upon a lot of original stuff. My car is much more reliable with dave's electronics.

    Yes! Buy Daves stuff - it is very good.
    I have all his relay upgrades - and very happy with them.
    Please excuse the crudity of this DeLorean as I didn't have time to repair it yet.
