Usually Deloreans are fine if you just install a De-cat pipe. Infact usually better for it!

Yes it's running a little fun, but also smells of gas, so maybe that's what's wrong instead.
Thanks for the replies, and fell free to tell me more that can help my can get to run better.
It's also goes up and down in idle speed when cold.
I put on "new" ecu but that doesn't seams to work.

taking the cat of shouldnt make the engine do that.

sounds more of a vacuum pipe / injection problem.

[Basunfan]

Yes I'm also afraid it could be injection, it also react pretty slow on gas pedal, some kinda latency on. ?
But have no clue what to do, not many people in Denmark can fix the k-jet, not that I know of :-(

How far are you from Ed @ DeLorean.eu ?

800-900 kilometer

best bet is to check simple/free things.

check vacuum pipes,
clean up Earths / grounds, battery terminals,
Spark plug gaps,
HT lead connections,
Ignition Timing,

If the fault started after removing the cat then you need to check around the area work was being done. There are (as Rob suggested) vacume pipes running above that area, knocking one of these off can cause a lot of issues.
