Re: [DML] Re: Rough Idle

[Todd Nelson <tan5732@xxxxxxx>]

I have noticed similar issues with other cars relating to the oxygen sensor, 
I would assume similar symptoms would happen with the DeLorean.  What I have 
had to do to fix it was disconnect the sensor when having issues, then the 
car would work fine.  The problems I have had are really intermittent too, 
so I would look into the oxygen sensor, possibly replacing it.

Good luck
Todd
