Inspected my lower ball joints. Immediately ordered new lower ball joints.
Looked at the battery cables. Looks like they are 2 gauge.
Ordered some 2 gauge battery cable & clamps.
Replaced shifter plate after breaking one bolt holding the DeClock in place.
Put the car cover on and said "good bye" to my car for the next three weeks when I will be away. :cry:
Put pen to paper planning the new exhaust system. Started pricing stuff out. Exciting stuff. :)
I took the D out for a drive today. On the way back home while shifting into 3rd gear, I noticed the rpm's didn't drop. About 2,000+? (I was paying attention to traffic not exact tach readings).
Goosed the throttle and it would go up higher but not lower so, not a stuck throttle. Looking at the gauges I noticed that the Volt meter was also spiking above normal.?
I headed for a side street so I could park and check things out and got stuck in school bus traffic. :angry0: While waiting in the jam, (With rpm's still high), I saw my temp gauge was creeping up above normal.
Just as traffic started to move I shut the car off and re-started it. Throttle/volt meter went back to normal and after driving a block the temp gauge was down to normal.
Because of the weather we'll have here for the next few days, I covered the car and will deal/check things out this weekend. Bulkhead connectors are my first suspect.
Just a typical DeLorean day... :paranoid:

This can totally screw up your electronics (Quote from Toby Peterson from DMC NW, who had a customer with that). Not sure if this will also impact your RPM gauge, but worth monitoring.
...today I found all of the parts I need for my new exhaust on Amazon.com :D
.....Today I replaced my rusty fuel filler neck with a re-furbished one from DMC. :smile: Next up......fuel tank cleaning...
New ball joints arrived! Though my ball-joint splitter is too big to fit between the joing and the rear nut on the spindle, so I need to wait for my new ball-joint splitter to arrive too -_-
