Not being very mechanically sopisticated, I have stayed out of this long discussion. However, sensing your frustration, I will now offer my suggestion, but first, some background. Remember, no matter what Martin and the boys across the pond say, the car was built in Ireland (Northern is just an ^&^$%#&**%^ adjective). Being Irish, it is sensitive and responds well to recognition of its true heritage. Had you finished your rebuild and started it on March 17th, it would have started and purred like a kitten (though not like a Chesshire cat). Since that is no longer available to you, at least for this year, here's what you need to do: 1. Break out a Guinness and let the car see you drinking it. 2. Be sure you are wearing green. 3. Have another Guinness. 4. Remove anything Orange from the sight (and site) of your vehicle. 5. Have another Guinness. 6. Invite someone named Paddy over to help you. 7. Have another Guinness - - and then, if it doesn't start, remove gas cap, tow car - - oh, well, you get the idea. Rich, no need to thank me. Twenty one years of DeLorean ownership and thousands of cans of Guinness Draught later, it's about time I contribute something technical.
