Re: [DML] Re: How well do your DeLoreans start?

["Tom Niemczewski" <tomciodmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

My DeLorean will start on the first try every time regardless of the 
temperature of the engine and the weather. It always takes less than a 
second to start the engine. Regardless if it was sitting for one minute or 
three months. Once it starts it never dies. I never touch the gas when 
starting. When it's cool outside and the engine is cold it will hunt at idle 
for a moment but I don't really know how long because I never let it idle 
when cold. The best for the engine is to start driving as soon as the engine 
is running and I do that every time. The colder the weather and engine the 
more apparent the hunting is.
It didn't run like this when I got it. I replaced a lot of parts including 
all the relays, o-rings in the engine, ALL vacuum lines, installed platinum 
tipped spark plugs (as per the owners manual), etc.
The car runs perfectly ever since I did that and I believe this is what 
every DeLorean should start and run like.
