New DeLorean owner; first technical question



Hello Everyone,

After a couple months absence, I just bought my DeLorean yesterday. She is vin # 3299, and she is in quite the immaculate condition. She already has had new fans, belts, hoses, electrical updates, factory recalls, new control pressure regulator, door struts, and air filter put on her (thank you DMC93n99 for doing all of that for me).

I have alot more things to do to her which I'm going to trust to the garage I have serviced with for 13 years now. They will be adding the rest of the main service kit that I purchased. The new parts they will put on her will be the oil filter, fuel filter, lambda sensor, sparkplugs, and other items from service kit 111143GC (PJ Grady's). My main question:

When she fires up, and she fires RIGHT up, if we put any pressure on her accelerator she will die immediately. Repeat this process about 5-7 times and she will finally run stable. Is this a sign of bad fuel and the need to clean the fuel system? I'm going to instruct them to take out and clean the fuel tank, and inspect and clean the rest of the fuel system. What kind of bill am I looking at from a garage who KNOWS what they're doing. Their rate is $60 per hour. They have the manuals; they know exactly how to take care of the fuel system; I have complete trust in them. Can anyone give me a "guesstimate" of a bill I may be looking at? Thank you all for your input; I have owned her for 24 hours now to almost the exact minute, and I'm trying to get her roadworthy. Hopefully, this will be the step that gets her on the road.
