Hey Robert,

good idea but i do not think this is the problem. the car ran extremely well 
before all this happened. it seems to me that if it were plugs, this problem 
would not have occured overnight.

my guess is that i have air in my fuel lines and it must be properly bled. 
good thing i was smart enough to give my mechanics the numbers to all the 
delorean vendors!
