It is possible that you got some particulates in the system while you had the fuel lines open. Try to determine if the symptoms are temperature related -- if it is worse with a cold engine or is present all the time. Temperature related problems are usually caused by the control pressure regulator. If you are a serious DIY'er, invest in a fuel pressure gauge. This will go a long way toward helping you diagnose fuel system problems. Also pick up a copy of "Bosch Fuel Injection Systems" by Forbes Aird, ISBN 1-55788-365-3. Chapters 6 & 7 are all about Continuous Injection like what is used on the DeLorean. I suggest the following test: Unseat all the fuel injectors and aim them into a test fixture. If you don't want to spend the money on one, you can get by using 6 graduated cylinders or even small jars if you are really cheap. With the ignition off, jumper pins 87 & 30 in the RPM relay connector so that the fuel pump runs continuously. (See section D:02:02 in the DeLorean Workshop Manual.) No fuel should leak from the injectors with the air meter plate at rest. Pushing on the air meter plate will cause the injectors to spray. The spray patterns should be cone-shaped. Slight asymmetry is okay as long as the fuel volume from each is within 10% of the others. Drips or streams are not acceptable. Let us know what you find. Walt ------------------------ Yahoo!
