What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[pezzonovante88]

Adjusted the fuel/air mixture to stop rev-hunting. Seems like I've got it about right, as its idling fairly smoothly and consistently. I'll have to tweak a little more here and there and see if it drives properly.

Installed leds on door lights and side markers. They look great and run cooler.

You really don't want to adjust the mixture for the best idle condition. It will probably not run closed loop lambda if you do. So your highway MPG will suffer greatly. You should get a dwell (or duty cycle) meter when adjusting the mixture.

Drove it to work without incident. On the way home I was trying to turn my radio down with the remote, and accidentally held down the 'up' button instead. The whole system just shut off. Checked all the fuses and nothing was wrong. Checked all the wiring, nothing wrong. Checked the fuse in the back of the head unit, it's fine. Start checking voltages and there isn't any?

Turns out there's an inline glass fuse behind the dashboard that was only rated at 5A from the factory. Might be OK for the Craig but not so much for a modern amplifier that accidentally gets cranked. Spent the evening fishing that stupid fuse out through the head unit hole and replaced it with a 10A fuse instead, since that's what's in the back of the head unit. No point creating a link that's intentionally too weak, right?

I'm pretty sure it was running quite rich before, so I think it required an adjustment anyway. We'll see how it runs.

got it to idle, see here-

Ever since I got it, the idle was never right. As soon as it warned up, it would idle up a bit and have a light misfire at idle. I fixed some vacuum leaks - mainly at the back of the climate control, and at the charcoal canister, and that made the idle even worse... After fixing the connection to the vacuum solenoid (see thread) it idles perfectly now!

I am very happy I (so far) have not had to go into the "VOD" - I was thinking this was about to be the time it was going to happen.

[*]Set windshield down perfectly the first time.

Sounds easy

Took my steering rack down the the auto shop and scrubbed all the grease and dirt off it. Then installed new boots and tie rod ends. Also cleaned the two air shields the cover the trail arms.

I just drive it, for the past week. Everything runs perfect, I think she would be a great daily driver.

Still checking out that mirror switch/defrost switch blowing when I put the key in.

And also I will check out why the idle doesnt pick-up until it has run for a minute or 2.

But she runs great !!!! Already 2 full tank of gas since the first time I took it out from winter !

New plates arrive in the mail today. The MN plate came off, CA one went on. In MN I was able to get vanity historic/collector plates, here you get what you get.
