[DML] Re: Delorean hard to keep running when engine is cold

[tobyp@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Mike - We have a local car that is behaving in a similar fashion, and 
we have identified the problem as being a clogged and corroded CPR 
(control pressure regulator).  The most consistent way of starting 
this car is with a shot of ether.  You may want to consider this 
component as a possible cause of your problem.  The local owner 
intends to rebuild his CPR to correct the issue.  Replacement may be 
more convenient for the average owner.
