Air leaks could be from different temps.

When hoses get hotter, they expand a bit. There might be some hairline cracks that open up a bit when they heat up.

Replace all vacuum hoses, and maybe clean out the throttle body. It can make a big difference.

Although I find it hard to believe that the temp outside would make much of a difference... Once the car is warm it's the same temperature under the hood during the summer as it is during the winter (for the most part)...

I also drive a 1980 245. Great car, I'll never sell it.

Congratulations on the 300K miles. I remember when my wagon turned 300K like it was... Wait, that was a long time ago... (heh heh heh)

Good luck!
