Re: [DML] My car won't start

Try getting the Bosch K-Jetronic info sheet from the following location...

http://labwww.csv.cmich.edu/luke/auto/delorean/repair/hezekiel/bosch.htm

** Note- the last time I checked the above page was gone, so not guarantees.
This has a lot of good info on the fuel injection / mixture adjustments in 
deloreans, which sounds like whats throwing off your starting.
Bosch also made a service manual just for this injection system, back when 
it was still used, you might see if you can find one of those.
