Has anybody got a decent wiring diagram copy??? Last thursday, when my daughter Emily went back to school, I decided to have a look at C@#t car to find out why it broke down on me. I completely checked the ignition system and found nothing really, I did suspect the RPM relay, so i swapped it from the one on my other car, which sadly has been cannibalised slowly to keep C@#t car's everlasting thirst for replacement parts going. But like I said previously, I haven't really found anything wrong for the car to do what it did...........until I went out yesterday afternoon. I was outside Essex Ford, that big ripp off dealership at Rayleigh Weir, as I parked up I locked the passenger door and the engine shut off, as soon as I unlocked the door I could start the engine again, this was also the same for the drivers door. So last week I must have nudged the door lock with my elbow or something for the engine to stop. My copy of the delorean wiring diagram is a photocopy, and gets very vague and faint by the door circuits, so thats why i need a decent copy. I know the car at one point had an alarm system on it, whether their is a module somewhere, I will have to investigate. but maybe this problem has nothing to do with the RPM relay after all.
But on the subject of RPM relays, can anybody clarify this............ One of the RPM relays I have, you can hear the fuel pump cut in for a second or so when the ignition is turned on, I assume this is to back the pressure up before the engine starts, but the second RPM relay does not do this?????? does anyone know which is correct???
It's ashame really, because although c@#t car, which it is now affectionately what it is known as, apart from crying out for a brush job, it is quite a tidy and clean car. It's just likes to break down weekly and I really really hate it. No seriously, I like to think I have a bond or rapport with all my cars, and I truly dislike it, and I think C@#t car knows it as well. But it won't beat me, because if it thinks it will I will just set fire to it and have the last laugh, but I will try and endeavour to try and brush the body over the winter months provided nothing else fails on it and I have to take it apart instead!!! Who's going to Vegas???? I'm going with Chris, and we're meeting the lovely Suzzy in LA, i've got to sort out a hire car yet!!! Oop's
Vin: Friday afternoon car, because the bastard thing likes to break all the time
