You said you had your car repaired by a DeLorean shop. If you paid for your
repairs you should bring your car back to that shop and have them correct
the problem. Weather it's a DeLorean or a Ford most credible repair shops
include a 90 warrantee on their work. David is on the right track as far as
diagnosing your no start problem but your repair shop should be doing that
work.

I would drain the fuel tank and inspect all the parts inside. Pay
particularly close attention to the suction (pick-up) hose for cracks,
tears, holes, or kinks. If you are getting good fuel flow (and you have
plenty of fuel in the tank) then you might have an ignition problem. Start
by cleaning all the connections at the ballast resistors. They are the white
thingys on the firewall towards the left side. Clean the relay contacts
nearby too.
