Re: [DML] Hard Starting.

["Lynn Metz" <metzlynn@xxxx>]

Sounds like it could be a bad coil or control module. Frequently these act 
up when they get hot. Your engine does not get hot enough while running to 
cause the problem (coolant is circulating). However, as soon as you shut 
the engine off, coolant stops circulating. This period of time is when the 
engine gets the hottest (even though it is not running). After several 
hours, it cools down to acceptable levels and will allow the car to 
re-start. I know this sounds kinda odd, but I have seen this more than 
once.(not on DeLoreans though)
Hope this helps.
