A few questions about my 240 Wagon 200 86

posted by  someone claiming to be Bob Hatfield on  Fri Jun 1 15:48 CST 2001 [RELATED]

First....... I really enjoy this board. I recently bought an 86 245 and I've noticed it idles slow on start up.... not at Problem now but maybe in the winter.... After warm up it idles "ok" .. Idle motor? Temperature sensor? Cold start injector?.... I learned these words from this board!LOL. Also The coolant temp gauge in the dash works sometimes for a little while.... From what I've read here there is a compensating P.C. board in the circuit to hold to temp gauge from fluctuating rapidly?..... Could it have a cold solder and where is it located? One last question..... I have had a clunking sound from under the front end on dirt roads or curbs so I changed the ball joints...... 168,000 miles.... figgered they needed changed..... Still have some clunking.... Slack at the top of the stuts where they swivel? Steering feels tight.... I love tinkering with this car.....Thanks all in advance.........Bob
