[DML] And for my NEXT problem... :)

Hey all, been a while. I recently had a complete Valeo clutch kit
installed on my DeLorean, plus a 12~ something grade shift linkage
pivot that will (supposedly) never break like my old one did. She
ran great for about 3 weeks. Then! Suddenly! *dramatic music here*
The DeLorean started to threaten to stall on me. Now bear in mind
that I've spent almost $4K on restoring this thing. I told
myself, "Ok, John. You had the main wiring harness redone. You have
new spark plugs, plug wires, cap, & rotor. You have new vacuum
hoses, fuel pump and accumulator." So I figured it couldn't possibly
be the ignition system. It had to be the trans as that's the last
thing that I got worked on. The strange thing is, the car only
threatens to stall when you first accelerate from a dead stop. Say,
at a stop sign or a light. As you go through the first 2 or 3 gears,
the engine sputters and the car will jerk forward repeatedly. But,
when I'm on the freeway or highway in 4-5th gears, doing 50-88mph
(lol), she runs fine! Weird, huh? I've sent it in to the local
repair shop and they should tell me what the new problem is. But
have any of you ever experienced something like this? Such...horror?
Oh the humanity! A non-running DeLorean!
-proceeds to cry-
I'm just kidding
...okay, I'm good now. Hope your day is better than mine.
