I think you are experiencing some of the normal problems that this car gets when they sit for a long time...Without knowing exactly what was done to the fuel system its hard to tell. Does the frequency valve buzz? are all hoses connected corectly? Check the a/c belts and pulleys. You will get some good responces from the DML but most people may need some more info on repairs done. I would also join the Delorean mid atlantic club (if you are on the east coast) I understand the frustration your previous owner felt. However, after owning my car for 2 years I can see how quicklly repairs can escelate on my car. For that reason I would not paint such a negative picture of Rob Grady on the DML without all the facts. I have bought many parts from Rob and Debbie and he has assisted me many times on the phone for no charge. Working on a Delorean opens a pandoras box of repairs. I have often had $30 repairs become $300 repairs in 5 minutes. When my car needs major service it will go to Rob's. Keep us updated on your progress. By the way were is the car located now?
