There are two problems-

1) It is cold this morning and my '87 245 started and died. It flooded. Pressing the gas pedal to the floor got it restarted. It is getting too much fuel at low temps. Any ideas on how to fix ( recalibrate )this ?

Once the car started the system voltage dropped to battery voltage. The voltage decreased when the fan was turned on, and did not increase with higher rpm. The belt was on and the alternator was turning. The battery warning light was not on. Shutting it off and turning the key to run only lit the oil pressure light.

A quick look at the fuses and they looked okay. It was cold so I just looked at them and gave them a little spin. No change. I'll have a longer look once it warms up a little, maybe above zero, but any ideas on where to start would be appreciated.

Thanks

Greg
