[DML] missfire??????

["Paul" <willinot@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

I was out tonight in the D and everything was fine.

Parked up for about an hour or two and then after starting I was getting a
sudden jerk (like complete loss pf power for a second) in first and second
gear.  The jerk was enough to crack my head of the roof as the car slowed
and I didn’t.

I originally thought it was just dirty petrol but noticed it remained for
the rest of the journey but only in first and second gear.

Im gonna go for a test drive again tomorrow to double check but wondered of
you had any ideas in the meantime.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: [DML] Is the Delorean engine an Interference Engine?

Hi, I'm concerned about my timing chain going and more concerned about  what
will happen to the engine if the timing chain breaks. 
  
  If the Delorean engine is an interference engine, then I understand it
will be trashed if the timing chain breaks.  My car has over 140K  miles,
although the seller and odometer said it only had 40K miles, and  I am
considering replacing the timing chain.  
  
  Does anyone know what signs I should look for if the chain is about to
go?, pinging?
  
  Thanks,
  
  Mike
