Re: [DML] my delorean will not start..

[Jim <starbuck@xxxx>]

I had this problem exactly.. I found the mixture control unit was the
problem.. The flap that allows more air in was lightly open and it
killed the engine.. Mine would start for about 3 seconds and then die
and then it wouldn't start at all..

Hope this helped,
Jim
