[DML] Re: DeLorean died while driving: Update



I wouldn't feel too comfortable - I cannot believe that the relay you 
identify could fail in such a way as to kill your engine - it is 
possible but, in my opinion, incredibly remote.

I think you fixed - unknowingly - a faulty connection for the spark.

I would make some notes of your test process and what you did and go 
over it again and make sure all connections are good and clean.

I agree, it never hurts to have a new RPM relay around.
