So now the fuel system is back in our hands and going in. The brakes have a new master cylinder and new lines. The tank is clean and has all new components in it. We have new fuel lines. We have a new fuel accumulator, annnnnnddd a new Fuel Filter…..this bitch done got herself a new fuel system!
We also installed new vacuum lines, spark plugs, cap and rotor. Of course all the fluids were swapped and a new battery found it’s way behind the seat. So now that everything was done it was time to see if the old hag would awaken after her 13 year slumber of death.
So I climbed in the seat, with the enthusiasm of a 16 year old boy with hopes of seeing a boob. I turned the key over, and the console light came on, the radio came on. I gave it a heave and it turned over, and over, and over and over, and over….but it wouldn’t catch. For hours and hours we agonized over this. We did everything right.
I log in to DMCTalk…it’s an online community for delorean owners, and I mentioned the sequence of events. Several people suggested that the cap was not on correctly. Dewayne….is a master mechanic; this cat knows his shit. He said his help put it on right, and he even checked it himself. I said “Dewayne, all the guys online, say that it could be just a hair off and we wouldn’t know it, we may want to check it.” He said he would check it. With a Delorean in order to get to the Distributor cap you really need to slide the air flow meter or manifold forward. It’s a task.
It worked. She fired right up, one turn and was off and running. Since Dewayne doubted me I am including the picture of his big ass trying to get the cap back on correctly.
