Lots o' Questions 200

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for putting up with all the questions I've been asking lately. I have a couple more. I was wondering about the heated seat elements. How are they controlled? I believe they are working, but I don't know when they shut off, and they don't feel that hot to me, is that normal? I also CANNOT figure out my cold running problem, I've tested all the sensors and they look good. Does an 87' 240 have some sort of fuel check valve that maintains pressure while its sitting? That's all I can figure, and should the fuel pump run for a couple of seconds when the ignition is turned on? I've gotten yes and nos and was wondering if anyone else had an 87'and knew. I think that's about it. Thanks very much for all your help.

Yes, there is a fuel check valve to hold pressure between run itmes. It's near the main fuel pump. Yes, the fuel pumps, both of them, should run a few when the ignition is turned on.

Seat heaters, AKA bun warmers, are controlled by rocker switches mounted in the e-brake console - at least my 1986 244GL and my 1988 244GL have them there.

Hope this helps.


Good Luck,

Bob
