3) What should my oil pressure read? Right now mine is reading just 
over 80, which I am betting is not normal.

Yes, or you can get a new oil pressure sender that is more accurate

Mine has this problem too. It reads over 80 at all times. There's quite a
range of prices on the sender unit. PJ Grady: $42.30, DMC Houston: $67.83,
Delorean One: $89.93, Mid State DMC Club: $35.00. Has anyone bought these and possibly know the
difference?

6) My car runs well enought, but it has an acceleration hesitation 
that is severe when the engine is cold, and mild when the engine is 
warm. By hesitation, I mean opening the throttle tends to choke and 
kill the engine, rather than accelerating it. Perhaps it just needs 
some adjustment or a tune-up? Do DeLorean owners, either with or 
without help from various DeLorean service centers, ever get together 
and have tune-up parties?

Was the car stored? You may have some contaminates in the fuel
system... among a dozen or so other possibilities!
There are probably some others on the list who can give you more
information on this. Your best bet is to search the list archives.

I too have this problem. I have replaced the filter and will be replacing
the fuel accumulator (although I think this will more than likely fix my
warm start problem). The control pressure regulator and thermo-time switch
work in conjunction as the engine's choke, controlling the fuel enrichment.
These will be my next steps...
