Hello all,
I am thinking of buying a friends 244 1990 2.3L 4-cyl N/A everything looks good runs as it should, however, when the engine idles it will momentarily slow down (sounds like it could stall, but never actually stalls) and the check engine light will blink on for a split second and than it goes off again and it will do this a few times a minute. I was wondering if anybody was familiar with this behavior. I asked a trusted Volvo mechanic who is familiar with the 240's and he said not to worry it just happens when the rpms get low and he said not a big deal. Is this a common thing in 240's? Is there a remedy to this little hiccup?
