Martin,
Your plug wires or coil wire could be bad.  When you install the wires,
put
a dap of silicon grease on the rubber boots where they contact the ceramic
on the spark plugs.  Also, use a little silicon grease where the plug boot
seals around the spark plug well.  Sometime this silicon grease is called
"tune up" or "ignition" grease.

Subject: [DML] Wont start when damp


Hi All

Annoying problem with my car: When the weather's damp, it just refuses
to start - pops a couple of times on maybe two cylinders but otherwise
just cranks. The most recent occasion it'd been under a cover and the
engine was dry - it was just a typical gloomy damp cold english morning.
We put a hairdryer on the distributor for 30 seconds and it fired up
first time!!!!

What on the dizzy should I check? It can't be much different from any
other DeLorean. The cap and rotor looked like this when she was worked
on last october

Subject: Yes, It's Another Thread About Oil

I was just wondering if anyone happened to know what what brand and
weight of oil was put in the DeLorean's crankcase at the factory.

Subject: dead battery blues?

Well, just the other day I planned to take the D for a spin around 
the block, because it has been sitting for a few weeks. when I tried 
to start it the battery was dead. So I charged the battery for a few 
hours and it fired right up. The folowing day I went to drive it 
again and the battery was dead and it is a new battery What could 
this be? I have never had this problem before. Any ideas would be 
very helpfull
thank you

brian
