What have you done to your DeLorean today?

That sounds like your curb idle is set to high. After the engine warms up, the oil gets thinner and it takes less throttle to hold the idle RPM. If your curb idle is to high the idle motor would be fully closed and can not bring the RPM down any further. You would see the green LED light on the circuit board if it either goes fully closed or fully open.

Thanks, I'm on it!!

I adjusted the valves on the easy side. They were only out about two thou on four valves. Not sure if that makes much differnce. Anyways, I thought I would clean my air cleaner. Holy cow!

Not sure if you can see the dirt around on the cement, so I scooped it up. The dust pan was clean before I got this.

Did I mention I live on a dirt road? It?s only a mile to the pavement.

Wow,
I also live on a graveled road, about a mile and a half till I get to the asphalt county road. I better check this.
Thanks, Ron

Got caught up on building inventory. So thinking about what to do with my time. Decided to finally LED my binnacle. Quite an effort pulling it now that I'm 74 years old but I got it out. I did pull the drivers seat out so I could get in and out from under the dash.

I placed an order with SuperBright.com

Will let you know if the LEDs I chose work good or if I decide to try another type. I will test all the LEDs working before I put the binnacle back. I also have a new flex board but it looks like my original which I fixed 20 years ago still looks good.

Dave, FWIW these worked out really well for my binnacle. Not too bright and 360 coverage.

Dave, I've got a PDF guide regarding the Super Bright LED lights. Here you go!

It looks like the binnacle lights would not need the wire clipped from the LEDs. My lamp caps would not cause a short with the wire on both sides. I think only the push button switches on the AC panel require that modification. I have not received my LEDs yet so still not proven.

For what it's worth, I found that putting LEDs in for the headlights and high beams was the wrong move. The headlight indicator was just annoying, and the high beam was actually so distracting that it almost defeated the purpose of turning the high beams on! This was using bulbs from DGo, which I imagine aren't as bright as the SBLs. Everyone has their preference, but I would recommend trying them at night before fully mounting the binnacle again. LEDs everywhere else is great, though!
