Re: [DML] Live DeLorean (Attn: Martin Gutkowski)



Hi Bill

I'm deliberately posting this back to the list to tell you about another of my car's
symptoms. You can mail me anytome on webmaster@xxxx

I took the car out for a spin on a sunday afternoon - a SUNNY, warm sunday. On arrival
back, I decided to give her a wash. This included a good hose down, and more than a
little spray of the engine bay. Sure as god made little apples, she wouldn't start
immediately afterwards. I waited 5 minutes (hot engine remember) and she fired first
time.

To be honest, there's not much "electrics" actually involved here! Something's getting
wet, and it's almost certainly the dizzy. How I have no idea - unless the cap's been
cracked as John suggested (looked fine in October, but a number of 20-year-old parts on
my car have gone wrong in the "shake-down" time since!). It's certainly not an expensive
part to replace anyway. Just haven't got around to it yet.

My ignition circuit is working fine - mine will cough on 2 cylinders when cranking, but
won't fire up. Next time it happenns I am going to try a direct 12v across the coil.

Cheers

Martin
