Check to see that the lambda circuit is operating (the frequency valve
should be buzzing away on the right valve cover). Check that the idle
motor circuit is operating (removing the plug on the idle motor should
make a difference). Check that the three brass screws are lightly
seated closed. You could also need a tune-up and fix all of the vacuum
leaks. The plunger inside the mixture unit could be "gummed up" but
before you go there you might need a control pressure regulator. Make
sure the air sensor plate is centered and wipe the inside with some
carb cleaner. When you are all done and have it running smooth replace
the fuel filter. Make sure the cooling system can hold pressure ie
there are no leaks. Flush the brake and clutch fluid. Check tire
pressures (look at the glove box door for the correct pressures). Make
sure the tail lights all work reliably. Check all fluid levels and
change the engine oil putting the "correct" oil filter in. Replace any
weak struts. Look at the fuse box for any overheating and clean ALL of
the fuses. Save up for at least a Fanzilla and disconnect the locking
module. 
You are on your way to the TOTAL enjoyment of a Delorean.
