Sorry, but this is just BS ! In the movie the starter didn't crank. This problem was solved a few weeks or months after the production started. If there still is a car out there with that problem - it's the owners fault ! The "normal" hot start problem after meanwhile over 20 years comes from the fuel accumulator that is leaking. The car is cranking perfectly but simply not starting ! Problem is not a Delorean specific one, instead it is a simple maintenance thing. Many other cars do have these fuel accumulators, too. The K-Jetronic needs that thing. But how many other cars with K-Jet are still on the road ? You're getting mixed up two totally different things. I'd suspect this from a kid or from somebody who doesn't know anything about these cars, but not from an owner !
