Don,

i talked to Rob Grady about this situation (i have it too) and he said it's 
pretty normal for DeLoreans to be like this on super-cold starting. he 
recommended letting the engine warm up for a few minutes before driving away 
anyway. he also said that the only thing that helps, is sometimes a fuel 
filter replacement. but not all the time. Rob said it could be a number of 
things but i just had my whole fuel system serviced by him, so he knew my 
setup was ok. all new ignition too. i guess it's normal!
