Your problem is in the fuel enrichment circuit.

Contaminated Gas??

I just bought a Delorean in May....the more I restore it the more I want to
throttle the previous owner! (but that's another post).

Today's problem.

Ever since I've gotten it - the car runs really rough when you accelerate. 
It also takes more than a few tries to get started then runs rough and
seems to smooth out a bit a few minutes later...but NEVER runs like it
should. The car did sit for a looong time prior to me buying it. (my guess
is anywhere from 6 months to 2 years)

The car improved slightly when we used a fuel injector cleaner in the
gas...All I've done since I've bought it is throw half a tank of premium in
it and the injector cleaner. It's never been driven more than a few miles
since I've brought it home.


Today I got daring and decided to tackle the gas tank.

I opened up the tank and everything looked fine. The fuel pump cover seal
is all warped (needs replacing) but everything else looked fine (fuel pump,
hoses, baffle, etc..). I siphoned out the gas. The gas was a really dark
apple juice color...didn't notice any sludgey deposits...but not sure what
to look for. Especially not sure what to look for on the baffle.

Any thoughts on what I should do now? 

Need some help from someone who's been there done that.

Thanks
