Well, I got so excited about getting my rear brake pads in over the weekend, I just had to drive it to work and school today. But I didn't quite get that far. I work in the mornings, and go from building to building. Well, I'm at a building for about an hour, then I go out to the DeLorean, and start it up. It started just fine, and then about 3-5 seconds later it just quit. So I try cranking it some more and nothing happens. Then I go back and swap the blue and grey plugs to fire the cold start valve. Bingo. It starts right away and appears to be running fine. So I go back and unplug the cold start valve and it dies. So I plug it back in and start it again. This time the idle is dropping to about 500 and then bouncing back up again. So I try giving it a little gas and it quits. I have not gotten it to start since then. I checked all of the fuses, and relays, and contacts for them, and they are all clean. I tried jumping it, but it still wouldn't start. I am thinking I may have flooded the engine by giving it gas with the cold start valve firing. So after my classes today I'm going to go back and try it again. But in the mean time, do any of you have any ideas that could work? Thanks a bunch. -- Jim Reeve <Ultra> '81 DeLorean-#6960 http://www.dmcultra.com AIM-Ultra2169
