Re: [DML] Re: Odd starting problem, Help please...




Did you have your spark plugs replaced?  Because I
don't understand if you waited 5 hours, it should have
started - unless your spark plugs were beyond repair. 
I've flooded my engine, waited 25 seconds, and VROOM I
go.  Could you clarify for me as I would like to add
this to my "DeLorean bible" I've been making.
