thank you up front to any knowledgeable responders!

We have a 1991 245 that loves to start right up cold. From then on you have to give her a little throttle (its a she) to roar to life. What do you think? I've heard things about cracked plastic fuel pickup line inside gas tank, or even bad fuel pump or relay, but why would it start easy on the first start of the day and not any other times?

another question, this time about front suspension, she likes to give a sharp 'pop' when wheel is cranked all the way to the left or right--have to do it to navagate our driveway. sound like front struts moving perhaps, or what else, tie rod ends? Just had struts replaced along with control arm bushings.

    On The 1'st ? Sorry not good with elec.or fuelprobs.On the 2n'd maybe I can help.Jack the front end up,both sides.First have someone turn the steering wheel left to right several times while you look and listen under car for the popping sound or unusual movement of tie rods.To check ball joints,grab the tires on both sides and roughly move them up and down and side to side,listen for the popping sound.Hope it helps..
