This needs more study.
There are at least three problems that would cause this. Meanwhile don't force the antenna down so you don't snap the plastic tail inside it. Extend it back up gently by...
There are several places you can send your injectors to for flow testing. Since you can't properly test them on the car until all the upstream fuel devices are working well this is a good option.

The door lock linkages both front and rear must be connected and properly adjusted for both latches to release.
You mention playing with the inside lock release helped open it before which fits...
I don?t know if normal includes stickiness when closed. Mine both close tightly but the regulator drops the glass on either door without drama or hesitation, stickiness. Never tested the tightness by...
You're right. It's not a picnic. From memory this is a way to adjust one or both of the drop glass guides:
a. Start by getting the carrier onto both guides simultaneously. For some hints about how...
See this reference to that part.
All of the guides have a curved design. Not straight. The curved drop glass has to slightly rotate inward as it is raised in order to next properly into the...
You can be forgiven for worrying something might break. The reverse lockout roll pin is the thing that might fail but I've never heard of one failing.
Once you get the hang of driving the car...
Refer to this thread.
Skip ahead to Post #10 where the owner lists the steps for reloading the drop glass carrier onto the guide rails from the bottom.
Since then I've helped another owner...
In reverse order of your questions/ideas:
-----------------------
I cannot entirely answer your question about using 205/60-14 tires in front.
I have seen two DeLoreans running 205mm section...
To answer your main question, yes, 175/65-14 front tires should fit.
From this tire size calculator you can compare that size to the original size or other sizes.
Neutral points: 175/65-14...
Noting both DMC and DeLoreanGo sell 3M blending pads, presumably the correct ones, and the blending pad handles for them. Use those terms in your search at their sites.
Perhaps others sell them,...
A busted spring is fatal to the speedo as you've discovered.
You're right, you'll need to either rebuild it or replace it.
Replace: DMC offers them, including resetting the odo on the...
I think this update applies to the DMC lawsuit mentioned in this thread. Last month NBCUniversal requested swift dismissal of DMC's lawsuit on all points.
Yesterday the federal court denied NBCU's...
Glad you found the right way to access it.
About the rattle you still have. It could be a lot of things. And one of those things could still be a hinge.
I had a rattle back there that was due...
More details to help you sort out the upper bulkhead removal:
In order to pull the upper rear bulkhead you need to first remove the 4 cargo net hooks that are screwed into the trim piece below the...
Thanks for clearing up that background.
I'll point to a possible answer anyway. It looks like the shop that smogged your car 2yrs ago after you brought it into Calif. cheated to get it to pass. ...
Sorry, my mistake!
I meant so say I tested and replaced my failed Coolant Reservoir Cap, not the radiator cap.
Thanks for asking so I could clear this up.
(The D's coolant reservoir cap is...
Installed a replacement radiator cap. Read the following story about it as a reminder to check yours from time to time.
After doing some work on the cooling system recently I performed a...
Very nice explanatory video here. Thanks.
Recommending that Bill or one of the admins might re-post at least the video link if not the entire Post #9142 over to the Resources page of this forum...
That's the target. Glad you found an improvement.
It assumes you've nailed all the vacuum leaks and have verified the hot idle sits with spec: 775+/-50 RPM.
I like to use a multimeter that has...
Right. No sealant. This is the seal for the job. It's item 17 in the Glass schematic.
Sounds like your ISM is OK. It's clean inside and it hums when it should. I'd check for leaks first - see below - but will mention more ISM stuff first.
One more elec verif test for it: Unplug the...
