Delorean

October 3rd, 2008

I drove my DeLorean over a couple of days ago. I thought you all might be interested in a picture or two, so I’ll be uploading a couple to the gallery in a little while. This DeLorean really isn’t in the best shape. So far after a bit of work I’ve gotten it to be able to start on its own, usually the first try. I’ve also fixed a coolant leak that was causing the engine to overheat. If you watch a video of it on youtube you’ll notice that the RPMs are REALLY high (about 4000RPM idle). I still have to fix this, but this is a bit more involved than some other things. First I have to replace the corroded Idle motor. That will drop the RPMs down to 3000. I also need to replace a couple of hoses that have cracks in them, which might be causing a loss in vacuum pressure. Finally I’ll have to check the Idle control system in the electrical box. I’ll keep you updated.
