Hi all,
Noticed my 1991 245 started to not want to start when warm from running within a few hours, unless you pumped the gas pedal a little bit. Once going, I had to hold it in a little and slowly ease out so it did not stall, and after a few seconds of this, it ran fine. From what I have looked at online, this seems to be a bad fuel pressure regulator?
It also has an issue where randomly the RPMs drop like the car will stall when switching from drive to park. This has only happened more recently, and only a few times. The RPMs only drop for a second before they go back to normal.
Could this be related to the regulator, if that was the culprit? Plan on having my mechanic clean the IAC too, he seems to think that might be part of the issue.
Distributer cap has been changed, plugs and wires were done a few thousand miles ago, no engine codes. This only started happening this year after pulling it out of storage. Ran with only ethanol free premium.
Also, doesn't seem to be at all related to a failed in tank pump. Does it if tank is full or low.
