RE: [DML] Wont start when damp



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.

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
