I had kinda the same problem. My Delorean would start fine the first time, but after it warmed up and i turned it off, it would take about 10 turnovers to start, then would run find again. i replaced my fuel accumulator and checked the starter wires on the starter coil. turns out some of my problems were because the wires on the coil were just sitting there and not connected very well. the whole process, taking out the old accumulator, putting the new one in, and changing the wires took me 2 1/2 hours. fuel accumulators only cost $120 after shipping. good luck erik geerdink p.s the D runs GREAT now. I better enjoy it while it lasts!
