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.

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 http://www.delorean.co.uk/pictures/DCP02232.jpg Martin #1458
