Re: [DML] Rough running durring acceleration

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxx>]

The problem you are describing could be caused by either fuel starvation
(problem between the fuel tank pick-up and pump) or low voltage to the
ignition and Lambda ECU's. The Ducelliar alternator has a problem delivering
minimal operational voltage to certain components when under full load. If
the operating voltage delivered to the ignition ECU is less than 10 volts
the engine will misfire.

I'm not sure what you mean when you say "the muffler is going out". Delorean
mufflers have a "0" failure rate. It is also unlikely that your catalytic
converter is plugged unless you had an extreme overheat incident.
