Re: [doc] No-throttle start :-)



Errrm, Stian, the manual states that you should start it with 1/4 throttle. I've read on the DML of one owner who could only start the car reliably with 1/4 throttle. I've found that when starting, the car revs in a controlled way to about 2000rpm then cops to idle - it lasts maybe 3 seconds. It has done this since I got it and behaves perfectly in evrey respect so I've assumed this is normal!

Mine starts on the first rotation of the engine usually.

Good you pointed that out!
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! :-)
