Re: [doc] start problem

["James Macpherson" <james.macpherson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When the car isn't starting check if there is a spark.  If there is no
spark during this 20 min period it could be the pulse coil in the
distributor.  Disconnect the wire from the distributor to the ECU check for
resistance if its open circuit then the coil is faulty and needs replacing.

My car has this fault but always stops after 5 mins and won't start for
another 5-10 mins.

This shows the pulse coil in the distributor and describes the fault.

Subject: [doc] start problem


Hi

 

I have read things in the past about hot start problems etc on the Delorean
but don?t remember reading about what I?m experiencing and don?t know what
to search under in the archives.

 

Basically, nine times out of ten when I start the Delorean there is no
bother but the odd time she starts up and then dies off.  When this happens
I can?t restart for about 20mins.  There does not seem to be any particular
time when this happens (hot or cold).

 

Any suggestions.

 

Thanks in advance.
