Cooling fans and the ignition




I have a curious problem with my DeLorean:


Let's say I take the car out for the day. During my trip it gets hot enough that the cooling fans come on. At this point, if you turn the car off and then try to turn it back on again, it won't start.

I noticed that while the ignition is tripped, everything is off in the car -- except the cooling fans. More often than not, the solution is to pull open the relay compartment and pull out the cooling fan relay; the car starts right up then.

Anyone else seen this? Shouldn't the fans also be off when you turn the ignition so the starter can get enough power?

I've also noticed that on the other cars I've owned, the cooling fans stay on when the car is off if it is still too hot. I notice this does not happen on the DeLorean; the fans go off with the car. Is this normal?

Also, my relays seem to get quite hot, so it looks like I'll be tightening the sockets this weekend.

Thanks!
