Hi Folks Cheers for all the ideas so far. A good friend of mine and delorean mechanic said that the fuel system was a wee bit too rich and that was probably the cause of the car not wanting to start after a long journey. He is going to test it for me in the next few days and set it up correctly. We tested the ignition without pumping the pedal and the car would not start, but once we pumped the pedal she roared into life.... I still have work to do, but for one of the first cars ever built the fact that she is still driving at all is still a achievment.
