I've been reading of your trouble with your engine and I have one question
for you-

You keep mentioning a possible weak spark among your talk of engine timing.
Are you sure your ignition coil is in good running order? Do you have the
ability to put it on another DeLorean to make sure that it's good? That
would at least help you get a starting point of "known good".

Good luck to you,
