Hello all, I suspect this is a common occurance? A design flaw? Just another thing that makes our DeLoreans unique? I have a similiar story- was actually on my way out to my mechanic's place and it was pouring. Was running fine at about 60mph and slowed down for my turn- that's when my car freaked. I thought it was possessed- it started shaking and unfortunately right after turning there was a steep hill. I had to rev the engine up to 3000rpm and then shift into first just to get it going up the hill. The car never stalled but felt like it wasn't firing all of it's cylinders. I told my mechanic of the problem, but he said it drove fine for him (most likely dried out and was OK?) I suspected the problem was water sloshing around in the engine compartment (because sheets of water slid forward when I braked). Is there really water being channelled to dump on top of the fuel pump? (as Mike said) Where do I look for the solution to this problem and is it worth fixing (is it an expensive repair considering I never intentionally drive my car in the rain)?
