It really helps the list if after getting advice on a posted problem you can let us know what happened and what you found and what was done to fix the problem. This helps those of us that offer advice so that we can help others in the future and it shows us common and more obscure problems. It is always difficult to give help in this forum without seeing for ourselves and having to rely on sometimes inaccurate descriptions of symptoms. Before asking for help it is always good to be aware of the recent history before the problem started and look the car over carefully for anything that may have changed. Many of the problems of the Delorean are rather common but as you fix the obvious ones the more subtle ones start to stand out. The main thing is that the parts are getting old so in many cases (for many engine problems anyway) a fresh tune-up can go a long way. It is always best to put in parts from one of the "D" venders as then you know that they are correct and of good quality. It is really hard to fix a problem if the parts you are putting in are worse than the ones you took out or are just plain wrong! Besides when you order the parts you can get loads of "free" advice!
