The cable going to the governor computer is not tight at the throttle end and can be easily deflected. I will need to check it on the other end, but I take this to indicate proper adjustment for idle position. 



The microswitch engages just before WOT position and makes an audible click when it does so. The manual says to confirm operation with a test light but doesn't say which terminals to probe or whether it should have power when it's at resting position or engaged. Does anyone know?

There's a freely available sectional area workshop manual which can be digitally downloaded from the internet for free in subsectioned .pdfs.  This is the same workshop manual that venders would have used in repairing cars when they were new in the states.  Someone years ago very kindly scanned in a copy and it's been available to the community since (It's been available the whole time I've been an owner, so it's been around for over a decade at least)

I also have a paperback version of this, which i can find quite handy to have around when playing with the car, and for keeping in the car with me when i go out.  It also makes for bed time reading when working on areas of the car but it's too late to be holding tools any more.

This is available from Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lorean-Factory-Workshop-Manual/dp/3941842595/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=de+lorean+factory+workshop+manual&qid=1622640655&sr=8-1

I can make the pdfs available to you if you cant find them yourself with a bit of googling.

(after a 2 min googling myself, i think this may be a viable source without going into forums https://www.carpdfmanual.com/de-lorean/)

Out of curiosity you have a ring terminal with a red wire leading to the rear of the car attached to the jump start point. What's this for??
