I'm having a starting problem and wanted to ask for advise from the
group
The story is the car rarely starts what I'll call normally - like
every other car I've owned. I used to own another Delorean and don't
remember ever having a problem. I typically have to turn the key and then
let go and hope the engine starts. I don't "hear" it start as the starter
is turning like any other car. Sometimes it just won't start no matter
what I do short of pushing the car. I can wait sometime a short time,
sometime longer, then it starts like it usually does (when I let go of the key).
Never any pressure on the gas pedal.
I replaced the fuel accumulator & the fuel pump a couple of months
ago (about 1000 miles ago). The car has always started since then until
recently. The fuel gauge was at about 1/4 tank both times ?? (not sure if
that's an issue)
Another puzzling part is that although the starter turns very strong the
car won't start but when I do push the car there is no hesitation in it
starting. It starts without any effort at all.
