[DML] Re: Thermotime Switch Question



Page 14 of the 1982 Owners Manual, "Engine Start/Door" sticker part #
108715, and the 1981 Owners Handbook (I'm too lazy right now to run
out to my car to grab this Manual) all state that wheather you have a
5-Speed, or an Auto, you need to hold the accelerator pedal down
approx. ¼ of the way down when attempting to start the motor.

Although, I too have noticed that this only applies when the engine is
cold. Durring the summer months when the motor never gets cold enough
to trip the Thermotime Switch, I never have to hold the pedal down
either. Which is why this is apart of my theory about why this is
nessisary for cold starting. Like I say, it's only a theory, but it's
one that seems to click with what I've seen on mine, and other
DeLoreans out there as owners have reported.
