Re: removing overdrive relay from 1990 240
They usually just plug in but they can be tight. Have you tried prying with a small screwdriver?

Re: 240 Drain/replace fluids, hesitation, throttle body
I want you to check the fuel pressure regulator on your car. It serves as a "accelerator pump" when you depress the throttle and since this seems to be where you are having your problem it may be what is wrong. The fuel pressure regulator is located on the fuel rail that feeds the injecto...

Re: Stalling, won't restart for 15 or 20 minutes
I had a chevy truck that did this and eventually tracked it down to a bad coil.

Re: 240 or 740?
I own both. The 740 has some newer features and lighter aluminum suspension pieces up front. I MUCH prefer the 240. The 240 is durable, safe, and inexpensive to maintain. I like the lines better.

Re: Why Do The Fuel Pump Relays Fail So Often?
the fuel pump relay isn't really only the fuel pump relay...if you look at a wiring diagram it is actually the main relay (two relays in one) there was some poor soldering on some of the relays to begin with....As long as you know about this and KEEP A SPARE it is not really much of a problem. I hav...

Re: the temp gauge in my 1989 240dl
These cars have a temperature compensation board and yours is bad. You can remove and put a jumper in and the temperature gage will read actual temperature. I did with mine. IPD sells this little jumper wire for $15. They used to have the instructions posted.

Re: 1989 240 squirting oil
