I bought this 1990 245 it has 247000 miles it's a 5 speed and was really cheap! seems to have been well taken care of, and not really rusty... New plugs, cap, rotor, wires, cleaned the AMM, new flame trap, airfilter, oilchange, motor mount, trans mount, dumped an can of sea foam ran that through It's not cold enough yet but when I start it in the morning it idles fine but stumbles, then after a few miles say 3 to 5 and the temp gage is in the normal operating position it's fine??? runs great all day long It needed a new sending unit so I replaced that along with the pump and sock, checked the grounds fixed the one from the fire wall to the valve cover cleaned the ones on the injector rails, tightened up the battery, Next up is a fuel pressure regulator any other ideas??? Maybe a bad temp sending unit??? I'm stuck

This board made me buy 3 Volvos thats how I roll...

Thanks a ton for all the help already
