ve never  heard another DeLorean start up besides mine, so I'm not sure if

normal.  Actually, I've never heard any other car start up like this,  so I'm 
fairly sure 
this is not normal.  Anyways, When I first turn  the key, the car starts up 
and shoots 
the RPM's up to around 3000 and  stays there for about 15 seconds.  Then it 
settles 
down to around  800.  The throttle does not move at all while this is 
happening.   Any 
thoughts?

Corey,
 
No that is not right.  The car should start, then typically it will  cycle up 
and down for a few seconds (say from 600-1000 rpm) while the fuel  system is 
in warm-up mode, then it should settle down to around 700 rpm.
