[DML] Re: Diagnosing my delorean

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You should not have ANY fuel leaks. Don't run the motor with fuel
leaks, it is too dangerous. Turn the key on and off several times to
get the fuel pump pressure up and find and fix all the leaks. If you
hear funny noises from the fuel distributer make sure all the hoses
are connected correctly. Maybe the noise you hear is the valve on the
right side (passenger side) valve cover? If it is, that's normal, it
is the frequency valve and it should buzz loudly. My guess why it
isn't running would be to check for spark. If you have fuel leaks you
are getting fuel, but are you getting spark?
