Re: [DML] Fuel System problems

[Enid/Jeremiah <hispanicangeleyes@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like a dead fuel pump.  Take your RPM relay out
and jump 87 and 30 I believe (the top right and lower
left holes, here is a reference page:
http://specialtauto.com/delorean-parts/images/rpm-relay-jumper.jpg).
 If you get sparks coming out, go to your fuel pump,
and disconnect the electrical connection bracket (the
two wires that go to the fuel pump).  Then go and jump
the RPM relay socket again as before.  If you get no
sparks, that means your fuel pump is dead.  Don't feel
bad - I've had two die in a month flat now.  I'm
cleaning my entire gas tank this weekend.
