Jeremy, perhaps one issue with your DeLorean can be resolved by reading the following and I quote, "On early vehicles (prior to VIN 2547), the starter solenoid's operating voltage, in certain conditions, was not high enough to ensure a consistant, reliable operation. This condition was displayed by a voltage drop characteristic in the main wiring harness on vehicles with slightly discharged batteries. To correct this condition a starter circuit modification was introduced into production starting at VIN 2548". The rest can be found at http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/starterfix.html My DeLorean VIN SCEDT26T4BD002261 has 17 digits unlike the one being sold by the IRS at auction with only 16 digits. Somewhere, somehow, somebody left one digit out. I feel for your DeLorean having so many issues at the same time. Mine usually has just one or two at a time. For example high idle at 1,600 rpm's. Nearly identical to Mike's problem in message number 58751. Mark R. Vanyo DeVanloreanyo --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Jeremy Popp" <trentjus@xxxx> wrote: > > Hello folks!
