Re: hard starting when cold?

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

When all else fails RTFM. (Read the F- manual). According to the
owner's manual and the paper on the driver's visor (if it is still
there) the way to start a Delorean is to crank it with the pedal held
down 1/4 of the way and release as soon as it starts to run. Now I
have done many cars and most will start just fine without touching the
pedal at all. Some seem to crank longer than others. I am sure
temperature and the gas you use will make a difference. Also how "hot"
the battery is. A weak, slow cranking battery won't start as quickly
as a fully charged, newer one. Try it and let us know. Since you found
a plugged vacuum hose I would go over every system on the car, G-D
only knows what else the P.O. did to the car to get it to run.
