Re: DeLorean will not start, Part II

At this point it would appear the problem is fuel related. If you are
sure the pump is running then I would go inside the fuel tank. IMHO
that is where all fuel problems begin. Clean it out and inspect all
the parts paying particular attention to the pick-up hose (the curvy
one). It could be soft and or kinked which would starve the engine for
fuel. If you find a lot of dirt in the tank replace the fuel filter
(not the screens in the tank, the metal can-looking thing by the left
rear tire). Even with dirty injectors it should run but after you get
it going they may need to be cleaned. If the plugs are dirty they can
be cleaned and regapped (or replaced). My guess is with that few miles
EVERYTHING is origional and should be replaced like the pick-up hose,
fuel pump boot, cover boot, belts and hoses, spark plugs, ignition
wires, cooling system, etc.
