Hi guys, I wanted your opinion on this delorean. The ad says that it was restored by Dave Swingle and Rich Weissensel. I know these guys worked on other ...
Ultimately VB the draw back to custom mods is documentation. Im sure everyone on the list can find someone to fabricate anything for their cars but how do you...
Phil - In looking at the wiring diagram, the only thing that comes to mind is that the fan motors have capacitors to ground for noise suppression (probably),...
my friends dad saw the car tonight, just to look but while i was running it he said it sounded like it was "missing". It seems to have a hard time starting...

Look for arcing from a wet and/or broken plug wire. It would also be a good idea to disconnect the wires from the plugs, one at a time, and blow any water out...
Hi, This is the guy in the Saturn who said Hi to you while you were having your Delorean fueled in Whittier. It's always annoying to me that when I drive my ...
I am betting it is easier to find parts for, and make repairs to a crate 350 Checy V8 than it is for a PRV. Just about any modern engine you cram in there is...
This is pretty amusing. I (Dave) am one of the list moderators and run the dmcnews.com web page, and Rich is the D-Rex Monster truck/Monster Garage Hovercraft...
It is probably just the fuel mixture change required for the fan load plus the voltage spike from the fan shutdown. I wouldn't worry about it. Harold McElraft...
If the spark plug boots are not on tightly you may have water in the spark plug wells. This can lead to all sorts of issues. It is probably worth a check. If...
Phil Nothing to worry about. This could be a normal behavior. Especially if your battery was a little low or your fans are a bit old and draw a lot of current....
My favorite line from the auction: "This DMC has the very desirable and RARE 5-Speed Manual Transmission, which really adds to its collector status!!!" What's...
My guess is that when the fans come on the system voltage drops enough to shut the Lamda ECU down. This can be because of loose/dirty electrical connections, a...
I forgot to add into this, he NEVER did any burn outs, nor spun the wheels. He just gently took off, and acellerated the car quickly. Never once did he abuse...
A person who I would consider an authority on the power handling capabilites of the Delorean, Fred Dellis, said it very simply. He said they could get all the...
