    That tells you the CSV is working but it was the wiring that can be bad. My car the CSV never worked when I got it. It turned out to be a bad connection in the bulkhead connector. A bad crimp on the pin I would guess but it was on the back side so I just bypassed it.

    +1, I had the same bad pin on the back side as Dave. I removed my rear wall and got into the bulkhead to fix it personally. It's the white 2-pin church connector.

    Jon,

    The white 2 Pin connector is for the FV not the CSV. Perhaps yours was a different connector. I had a Pin Back out in the Blue BH Connector (WUR Heater wire).

    No, you're right - that's what I meant. It was the CSV. Thanks for the clarification

    Follow Up

    First of all, thanks to everyone that responded with ideas. Dave M. you were on the money regarding the bad connection.

    Kyle may have solved the problem tonight. Here's a picture of what was replaced. I'll give you one guess which connection was bad and replaced (see picture).

    Also, here's a video of 10989 driving around the neighborhood tonight and a picture of the engine. The Stage 1 Exhaust sounds really good. I'll be going out in a couple hours to see if it starts right up again. Pray for me Julee.

    No comments on those wheels!!!

    Still a long way to go but I'm hoping this will be a driving restoration.

    Looks like someone lowered the front and not the back, or put huge tires on the rear. Hard to tell with those wheels I guess.

    Good catch Dave. The front was lowered with the Eibach shocks and springs and the rear shocks and springs are sitting in the trunk.

    Fired right up after sitting for two hours. Will keep checking over the next few days.

    Today was one of those good days as a Delorean owner!
