What have you done to your DeLorean today?

[Gregadeth]

• Re-painted black the rock screen under the front fascia.

• Cleaned the electrical connection at the rear tail lights to fix an intermittent brake light issue.

• Removed the original air intake assembly / stove pipe unit, and installed the cold air intake from DMC.

• Completely forgot to take before-and-after pics

I've had a busy year!

I removed all the props from 2930 and cleaned up the stainless. I also cleaned out the fuel tank and got the engine going. She sounds great!

I'm currently diagnosing a low fuel pressure issue. I've inserted the Kjet Fuel Injection tester between the mixture unit and the control pressure regulator, and see ~50psi when the fuel pump is jumpered to run continuously. From what I understand, I should see around 70.

I'm considering whether to replace the fuel filter ( it could be clogged from bad fuel ), or just throw in a new pump from DMC ( $100 for their old style pump seems worth it).

I'm looking forward to getting 2930 ready for her next adventure.

If you don't have the tester valve shut, you would see 50 PSI since your reading control pressure. You need to shut the valve to read primary pressure of 75 PSI.

I tried with the valve both opened and closed, and still saw ~50 psi. It is possible that the fuel filter is clogged and introducing a pressure loss through the system. I'm not sure the best way to test the pump separately from everything else. I could hook the tester up directly between the pump and the return, making a small loop.

My guess would be your primary pressure regulator is not working (check that small O-ring for damage).

I would not think the fuel filter would cause it because there is not much fuel flow when your testing. It could be the pump itself is faulty but check the PPR first.

Think I've fixed the speedo for the 3rd time!

Replaced broken trip odometer reset shaft. Changed all (save for the battery light) instrument cluster lights with LEDs. Had 7 or 8 deep scratches on the instrument cluster lens, so wet sanded, dry sanded and polished the crap out of it, looks nearly new

[DMC-81]

Today, I replaced the relays and circuit breakers with DMC's kit. After driving it afterwards, I noticed a major difference with the fan speeds. Before they hesitated or didn't even work when I changed the speeds. Now the switch works like brand new.

Hmm I wonder if that could be my issue with no fan speed 3. 1, 2, and 4 work just fine but when you switch it to 3 the fan doesn't run at all

This could be several things. The 3rd and 4th speeds each have their own relay, but there is also a resistor in the bottom of the heater box that factors into things. The resistor can get very corroded/broken from A/C condensation over time. Or there could just be a disconnected wire there!
