If you did not properly prepare the car for storage, it is possible that all of the rubber parts in the fuel tank are now a bunch of black mush in the tank. If this is the case, the worst thing you can do is try and start the car. The black mush will then clog up the fuel injection system. Pop the pump out of the tank, and take a look. gbgarnet wrote: > > My DMC has been sitting idle for approx. 16 months and I wanted to start driving it again.

I suspect a fuel pump problem since I cannot smell gasoline. Also, the fuse for the fuel pump was blown. I replaced the fuse but it still does not start. What is the best way to troubleshoot a starting problem like this? Are there any good Delorean mechanics in the Cincinnati Ohio area? > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address moderator@xxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address moderator@xxxx
