Just being able to replace parts is not going to get you runing. You really have to be able to diagnose a problem and change just the bad part. Now that you are where you are I would try turning the mixture screw. It is probably way off. We saw this on a car in Virginia. He repalced the mixture unit and it took a turn or 2 to get the adjustment close. It seems the mixture units do not come preadjusted for Deloreans. You have to remove the tamper-proof plug (if it is there) and use a metric allen wrench. Don't forget to plug the hole or you will have a large vacuum leak. The procedure is in the Workshop Manual D:04:01. David Teitelbaum vin 10757 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, advantics@xxxx wrote: > The car ran when I got it, then one day it just didn't start.
