Here's a list of things to check Clean the fuel injectors and replace the seals Fix EVERY vacuum leak Make sure the Lambda system is working Check the temerature sensitive valves in the vacuum advance system and the hose routing Check the cold start system Check the Control Pressure Regulator You should find the problem after checking these systems Cleaning the fuel tank is a good idea along with inspecting the parts inside. Change the fuel filter soon after (like after running a tank of gas through). It won't fix the problem but it is a good idea anyway. Even though you are saying the rate is $60/hr they might get you on the hours (you aren't standing over them watching, right?) For a problem you are troubleshooting for there is no set time. To clean the fuel tank should take 2-3 hours if you are inexperienced on Deloreans. Twenty minutes is what it really should take. BTW the tank doesn't have to be removed to be cleaned. Even with manuals, without the injector tester they can't clean and test them.

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).
