Hey gang, I bought my DeLorean a few months ago and I am very happy with the purchase. It is a 1981 model with a black interior and auto transmission. I had difficulty getting it started at the previous owners, but I got it running and drove it home. I put about 30 miles on it to get it home and drove around town for another 20 later that day. The car was running very rich the whole time and just not right in general. I am not an idiot when it comes to cars, but my DMC knowledge is limited at this point. The car only has 16k miles on it, and since 1989 the car has only had about 2k miles put on it. It is very had to get started. It turns over fine, but doesn't seem to be getting any fuel. Starter fluid will do the trick, but I don't like the idea of using it at all. Once started as I said before it gets way to much fuel. It smokes and if you really get on it, the motor will flood out and die. I know since the car has sat for so long that it will need the basic DMC tune up parts. The fuel system is supposed to be new in it, but I don't know who true that is. I was going to get the PJ Grady tune up kit and go from there, but any pointers about what you all might think my fuel/ignition/air flow problem might be. So far new door struts, battery, and plugs. I have wanted this car since I was 6, so I am in no hurry to get it back on the road. I want to do it right the first time, so the car is going to be sit in the garage till I get it running like new. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
