RE: [DML] battery sparks and no-start



Eric, Is the fuel pump running?
You might have frozen water in the tank.

List,

yes i have tried jumping the car also. no start. it only turns over,
sounds 
about 80% the usual speed during the summer. i doubt it's dragging - the 
DeLorean starter is supposed to be pretty darn bullet proof, right?

all fuses seem to be good, all relays are tight, the F.Valve and pump work 
when i jump them. is there anything behind the driver's seat where i could 
have knocked something loose? anything else in the relay box?

i really don't think the problem is in the engine bay - again i haven't 
touched anything back there since it ran last month. any other ideas?

I appreciate the help!
Andy
