Since the DeLorean has fuel injection, there is absolutely no need whatsoever to depress the throttle pedal when starting. I've tried both - starting with the throttle pressed down 1/3 and to start with no throttle. I feel that my DeLorean likes best to start by simply turning the key, and not pressing down the throttle just like you Martin! It's quite easy to flood it if you use the throttle - so don't. Let us all start our DeLoreans "the way it was meant to be". Oh, and should you experience difficulties in starting with no throttle at all, then you have problems with your fuel injection. My DeLorean starts within 3 seconds(!) VRRROOOOM! :-) Best wishes Stian #06759 >NB my car likes to start with no throttle, despite > what it says in the manual. > All the best > > Martin > #1458
