Please help- My Delorean won't start...

[Jeff Wiltzius <wiltzius@xxxx>]

Hello all,

It has been quite sometime since I've posted- and unfortunately this 
time I'm having a showstopper problem. Quick summary- car won't 
start- just turns over. Drove it out to a friends place (20 min 
drive)- car sat for about 3 hours- came out and it just turns over.
Things I have tried:
1. Checked inertia switch
2. swapped cold start thermo switch (tech manual said it causes 90% 
of cold start problems)
3. swapped fuel pump with another (most likely) working one- checked 
all hoses made sure nothing was pinched etc.

I then had the car towed to a service station because it didn't seem 
like I was getting power to the pump (I didn't hear it buzzing) but 
they said it is getting power but it seems like it isn't building 
enough pressure?? They recommended a new fuel pump until I told them 
I had already tried swapping the pump with one that a friend of mine 
had taken off of his '83 model when he first got it. The pump was 
working fine- he just wanted a new one on there.

What are my options at this point? Should I bite the bullet and order 
a new fuel pump just to completely rule it out as a problem? My other 
option is to electrically go through everything (I have some fuses 
that are actually melted- so my car is a mess electronically but 
seems odd it would work fine for 2 years). I was thinking of 
replacing the entire fuse box, fuses and relays- does this sound 
logical?

Any insight, help, suggestions are greatly appreciated. I will 
continue to search through the back messages. Anyone have a 
recommended list of things to go through in a no start condition?

Sincerely,
