Re: [DML] Electrical help / Starting problem - I'm stuck

["Lloyd Miles" <delorean@xxxx>]

After reading all your problems I can't figure if I'm lucky or what, on
#3502 the fuel pump comes on in the on position and pressurizes the system,
turn to start and she goes every time, in the 5 years of owner ship have
never had to even touch the gas pedal to start, will hunt maybe twice for
idle and we are ready to go, may be lucky on my end but figure if it isn't
broke don't fix it. Still think the pump should come on in the on position.
