Hello Lee, Congratulations on your purchase. Regardless of any contributing cause to your starting problems all VIN's before #002547 will benefit tremendously in the starting department if Service Bulletin ST-05-2/82 is performed to it. I recommend using a link wire using factory style crimped connections (Part # 114017). This modification, if not previously performed, may solve your problem. Let everyone know how you make out.

I am new to the mailing list. I purchased my 2nd DeLorean about a month ago. It is VIN #1913. When I got the car and it would have no problem starting up everytime. In the past week it seems like my battery is draining for some strange reason. I jump it and it fires right up. THe battery is good. I do not know about the alternator. When it runs for a while and I kill it, it will start right back up. Its the overnight sitting that is the problem. I would really like some advice if anyone can give me a "hey try this out" first before I have something done (i.e. have the alternator rebuilt) And one more question..why do DeLoreans "surge" in RPMs when it is cold? FYI. I sold my first Delorean about 4 years ago (6906). So I do not own two.
