Re: [DML] 911, engine running on 3 cylinders MORE INFO

Hi Andy.  I too was surprised that the thing even runs
on 3 cylinders, but your removing all three plug wires
at once seems pretty conclusive.  Assuming that the
wires are on correctly, I'm wondering if you don't
have an "even-fire" distributor cap.  Here's how to
check:  the original cap for the Delorean was an
"odd-fire" one such that if you look straight down on
the top of the cap, it should look like three groups
of two towers, not 6 evenly spaced.  An even-fire cap
will be 6 evenly-spaced towers.  If you can't tell
with it installed, it might be easier to just swap the
old cap back on as a test.
