Plus 1. ?Inquiring minds want to know?
What's your EFI implementation? Engine swap or EFI the 2.8L?
Most places I've seen have you order a rebuilt unit, and then you have to send the old one back to them (or they will charge you up to a $500 core charge). So the car will not be down longer than it...
Update: As indicated above, after I rebuilt it, it ran OK, not great. But it degraded fast to running really really $#!+y until warm. The second time I opened the WUR/CPR, I redid the bottom two...
I've got a 3.0L PRV and what I think is an even fire 2.8L sitting in the garage (doesn't everyone keep spare engines on hand). A project I've yet to start is to build up a 3.0L with the stock...
As I dug into this, I contacted UTCIS and as it turns out, their website was out of date. The info I got from the site was an old model ... many years old. They should have it updated by now.
...
UPDATE for those contemplating doing what I've been writing about here: In short ... no happiness at all at this point
I don't drive the D much and recently it has been running REALLY CRAPPY. ...
Just trying to spread the word on how to make the job easy (easier): https://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?8110-How-To-Front-speaker-replacement-made-easy
The first time getting them out is the hard...
Might the switch turn off the heater circuit when the engine gets warm enough? FWIW, mine is grounded to the case as well.
Seems that the circuit diagram attached above could use an update to...
Begs the question why they included a ground wire.
So much for the WUR & hunting theory. Today it hunts (~500 - ~1500RPM). Yesterday it was spot on. I wish I could read its mind.
This is one thing I like about the forum and DeLorean community .... learning ideas I hadn't thought of. Thanks Dave
Referring to the previous reply's attached diagram ...
- If it is shorted on the yellow side of the WUR resistor it should fault the #7 fuse
- If it is shorted on the ground side of the WUR...
Years ago, someone created a bunch of drawings including this one. I find them easier to read than the whole car schematic. Copied here FYI ...
And as I understand WUR operation, you have two unrelated issues:
1) The electrical short
2) Improper WUR operation (crappy running until the engine warms from combustion heat)
Fixing #1 will...
I should have been more clear. The sharing chassis ground only applies if measuring with the plug installed ... A very unlikely scenario.
If unplugged, and if you are getting a short indication...
I don't think it should be shorted to housing ground. But housing ground probably shares the ground with the circuit via chassis common ground. So one pin should read zero as measured to chassis...
Update: Still delighted. It's days later and the improved performance of the initial drives appears to not be a fluke. I hope it continues.
Drove the car today and it's a delight to drive. And...
There is an easy test for the heater. Using a VOM, remove the plug and measure resistance across the connector pins. If zero (open circuit) then I believe it is bad (may simply be a broken wire.)...
I tried it and it works for me. It is a file download and takes me to Save File screen.
I recommend trying again or retrying after reloading the browser. Also, I find the PC operates weird if...
Yes, I usually think I should have taken some photos or video when I'm nearly done.
I did create a how to with my comments and included the vendor's instructions. The instructions have a bunch of...
Thanks to FABombjoy for shrinking the instruction .PDF so that I can upload it.
Here is the instruction for the WUR repair/refurbish kit: 70177
I hate those. A PITA to get out of it and the last one played a loud sound constantly until I killed the tab. I know of one couple who paid the scammers a couple hundred dollars to resolve it and I...
I recently rebuilt the WUR (Warm Up Regulator) CPR (Control Pressure regulator) using a rebuild kit purchased via eBay and shipped from Germany. You want the repair kit for Bosch 0438140066 Warm Up...
